Brigadier General Oren Setter, the deputy of the head of the “Israeli” negotiating team for the ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal, announced his resignation today.
The move, described as sudden by Hebrew media, is believed to have happened due to the talks stalling – according to Kan.
The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) confirmed Setter’s resignation, and said that he “worked tirelessly to advance the efforts to return the hostages.”
“The officer will return to assist the hostage headquarters in the future as well, as needed,” the statement added.
