"Rubio noted in a meeting with the families of the hosts yesterday that he and Trump never liked the type of phased deal that Biden worked on with Netanyahu, with temporary ceasefires in exchange for the release of only some of the hosts.
A senior US State Department official said that Rubio did point out to the families that the phased format was not sustainable in the long term, but both he and Trump understood that it had to be done this way in January.
Between the lines
Netanyahu preferred the phased and partial format for internal political reasons, so that he would not have to commit to ending the war. Despite his reservations, Trump ultimate adopted the partial agreement that Netanyahu preferred in the rounds of negotiations that take place in recent months. So far, all have failed.
The only exception was when Trump printed Netanyahu to secure the release of Kidnapped Israeli-American Idan Alexander. Trump negotiated directly and indirectly with Hamas until the organization agreed to release Alexander.
Rubio made it clear in a meeting with the families of the hosts that he still does not think a partial, phased deal is the right thing, and hinted that perhaps it is time to examine a more comprehensive approach to ending the war and releasing all remaining hosts in a comprehensive deal, according to sources in the room.
