Negotiations to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas are close and the disagreements among parties have narrowed amid intensive talks, deputy national security adviser Jon Finer said Sunday.Video above 바카라 게임 웹사이트� 'I just can't imagine the terror': Woman's family among hostages taken by Hamas바카라 게임 웹사이트�We think that we are closer than we have been perhaps at any point since these negotiations began weeks ago, that there are areas of difference and disagreement that have been narrowed, if not closed out entirely,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Finer told CNN바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Jake Tapper on 바카라 게임 웹사이트�State of the Union,바카라 게임 웹사이트� stressing that these are sensitive negotiations and no deal is currently in place.Finer declined to dive into the details of the talks, but said officials are working around the clock and that it remains a priority for President Joe Biden.U.S. officials have been signaling for days that Israel and Hamas are moving closer to a deal to secure the release of hostages taken during the Hamas attacks on Israel in exchange for a sustained, days-long pause in fighting.Only a handful of hostages have been released so far since the start of the war.The negotiating parties 바카라 게임 웹사이트� Israel, Hamas and the U.S., with Qatar mediating between them 바카라 게임 웹사이트� have sought to work through a number of sticking points. These include how many days a potential pause in fighting would last and the number of hostages that would be released, sources familiar with the talks previously told CNN.Earlier Sunday, Qatar바카라 게임 웹사이트�s prime minister similarly said 바카라 게임 웹사이트�good progress바카라 게임 웹사이트� has been made 바카라 게임 웹사이트�in the past few days바카라 게임 웹사이트� in the negotiations, adding that the sticking points are 바카라 게임 웹사이트�more practical, logistical, not really something that represents the core of the deal.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Asked about how many hostages the U.S. believes are still alive, Finer responded that they don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have exact numbers but said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We do believe that there is a significant number of Americans being held.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�One of the challenges associated with this is we바카라 게임 웹사이트�re not on the ground in Gaza, the United States. We are not in direct contact with Hamas. We do that only through intermediaries. And so, we don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t have perfect fidelity about exact numbers of hostages, including numbers who are still alive,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said.Finer also said the U.S. is still gathering information about strikes that hit a UN-run school, which was being used as a shelter, in Gaza over the weekend.바카라 게임 웹사이트�What I can say at this point 바카라 게임 웹사이트� and we바카라 게임 웹사이트�re also in touch with the Israelis to try to find out what they know about what happened 바카라 게임 웹사이트� is that if harm was done to innocent civilians sheltering at a U.N. site, that would be totally unacceptable,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Finer said.Finer also on Sunday warned Israel against carrying out offensive operations in southern Gaza until it has adjusted its planning to account for the hundreds of thousands of civilians who have fled south amid the fierce fighting in the north. Israel, which has said that Hamas leadership fled south, is likely to conduct military operations in the southern part of Gaza, Finer said Sunday on CBS바카라 게임 웹사이트� 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Face the Nation,바카라 게임 웹사이트� adding that Israel has the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�right바카라 게임 웹사이트� to do so despite the serious concerns over civilian casualties.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We think that their operations should not go forward until 바카라 게임 웹사이트� those additional civilians have been accounted for 바카라 게임 웹사이트� (Israel) should draw lessons from how the operation proceeded in the north, including lessons that lead to greater and enhanced protections for civilian life things like narrowing the area of active combat, clarifying where civilians can seek refuge from the fighting,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Finer said.Finer also said that the Palestinian Authority, which has partial administrative control of the West Bank, will 바카라 게임 웹사이트�have to be part바카라 게임 웹사이트� of any future governing solution in both the West Bank and Gaza following the current hostilities 바카라 게임 웹사이트� a prospect that Israel바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has explicitly opposed.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Our view is the Palestinian Authority is the only official institutional representative of the Palestinian people in the West Bank, that it will have to be part of any way forward when it comes to governance both in Gaza and the West Bank,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Finer said.CNN바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Alex Marquardt, Kaitlan Collins, MJ Lee and Oren Liebermann contributed to this report.
