Fresh momentum in Gaza war talks for hostage return, White House says

On Friday, White House national security advisor Jake Sullivan said he saw fresh momentum in discussions aimed at ending the war in Gaza and facilitating the return of the remaining Israeli hostages.

"I believe that there is a renewed effort under way involving Qatar and Egypt as well as Israel to try to find a way forward," Sullivan told MSNBC in an interview.

"Do I think that there is new momentum, new life in these hostage talks? I believe there is."
