(Bloomberg) -- Israel sought Russia’s help in making progress on a deal to free hostages from Gaza, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said, as efforts spearheaded by the US, Qatar and Egypt to secure a truce with Hamas advance slowly.
Netanyahu’s military secretary returned on Sunday morning from Moscow, where he discussed the hostages with his hosts, according to a statement. The government of Vladimir Putin has been in contact with Hamas over the fate of hostages who hold Russian citizenship.
