Negotiations for the release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip are ongoing intensively, and their outcome could have significant impact on the entire Middle East, Israeli President Isaac Herzog said during a meeting with leaders of the Jewish state's Muslim community, APA reports citing TASS.
"Let's pray together for the release of the hostages. This is the key to everything. Intense negotiations are underway and they can affect the entire region," the presidential office quoted Herzog as saying.
