Israel's defense minister sees 'chance' for Gaza hostage deal

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz told his U.S. counterpart Lloyd Austin Wednesday that there was "currently a chance" for a deal to release the remaining hostages seized in October 2023.

"There is currently a chance for a new deal," Katz told Austin in a phone call, according to a readout from his office.

"We are hoping for the release of all the hostages, including U.S. citizens," he said.
