During the episode of Otto e mezzo on Thursday, October 12th, on La7, Lucio Caracciolo answered the moderator’s question Lilli Gruber about the possibility that secret negotiations are underway for the release of prisoners. “The negotiations are always secret, even if Israel exchanged prisoners with Hamas, only later they become obvious,” explains the director of Limes, a journalist and expert in geopolitics. “Surely there are gods open channels these are the Qataris and the Turks, but at the moment it seems to me that neither Hamas has any interest in returning the hostages, nor do I believe that the hostages are an Israeli priority,” argues Caracciolo. In short, negotiation is difficult at the moment because neither party is a priority, although for different reasons.”Israel’s existence is at stake here and therefore he can also take into account the death of other hostages, but also his own,” he concludes.
