Israeli negotiator reveals tens of Gaza hostages 'alive with certainty'

A senior Israeli negotiator told AFP Monday that tens of hostages held by Hamas are certainly alive and that Israel cannot accept halting the war until all captives are released in a deal.

"Tens are alive with certainty," the official said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorised to speak publicly on the issue. "We cannot leave them there a long time, they will die."
