NBC News: Reports of Israeli hostages<\/h3>\n

Hostages taken captive by\u00a0Hamas\u00a0may now be with other\u00a0Palestinian terror groups, an peace negotiator in contact with the terrorist group has told Daily Express US.<\/p>\n

Hamas militants killed 1,400 civilians and kidnapped over 200 hostages during their barbaric October 7 assault on Israel.<\/p>\n

And while a handful of hostages have been released by Hamas, most remain trapped in Gaza.<\/p>\n

Gershon Baskin is the director of the International Communities Organization, which negotiated the release of a hostage from Hamas in 2011.<\/p>\n

He says some hostages have fallen into other hands.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Baskin told Daily Express US: “It is not clear who is speaking in the negotiations in regards to what is possible, who is controlling who is released. It also isn’t clear that Hamas has control of all the hostages. Hostages were taken by Islamic Jihad and The PFLP (Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine).”<\/p>\n

Reports have also emerged suggesting Qatar is taking a leading role in hostage negotiations.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, has said he hopes there will soon be a breakthrough.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Wednesday, he added: \u201cThere is some progress and some breakthrough and we remain hopeful.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, Gershon says that, based on his communication with Hamas, this may not be the case.<\/p>\n

He added: “The last conversation we had was trying to establish whether the reports coming out of Qatar were true.<\/p>\n

“When I started asking questions I realized that they didn’t know, which could suggest it isn’t true. But there is an asterisk next to that because what we are experiencing now is that there is no clear chain of command in Hamas regarding the hostages.<\/p>\n

“It is not clear whether the Qataris have contact with just the military wing of Hamas, or just the political wing, whether they are talking to the political wing in Doha or elsewhere.<\/p>\n
