With talks for a potential agreement with Hamas gaining momentum, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar voiced optimism in an interview with the German newspaper BILD that progress could soon be achieved. “I hope that we are close,” Sa’ar remarked, referring to a possible arrangement that would secure the release of 48 Israeli hostages, both alive and deceased, in return for Israel pulling back several kilometers and freeing hundreds of jailed terrorists.
Sa’ar stressed Israel’s commitment to reaching a resolution quickly, telling the paper’s deputy editor Paul Ronzheimer: “We are determined to reach an agreement as soon as possible to bring our hostages home again. That would, of course, also mean a ceasefire.”
The foreign minister cautioned against placing faith in Hamas, making clear where his trust lies. “No, I don’t trust Hamas. I trust President Trump. I trust the United States of America. I trust the international actors involved in efforts to bring an end to the war,” he said.
Responding to suggestions that Hamas could attempt to drag out the process in order to avoid facing pressure from the American president, Sa’ar dismissed the idea. “I don’t believe President Trump will have much patience for that. He has spoken very clearly, and I have nothing to add.”
Sa’ar further revealed that top Trump advisors, Jason Greenblatt and Jared Kushner, were slated to arrive in Cairo to help seal the deal. “Mr. Witkoff and Mr. Kushner are not traveling to Cairo to stay there for weeks or months,” he noted.
