Israel has confirmed it is cutting the supply of electricity transmission to Gaza.

Energy Minister Eli Cohen has instructed the Israel Electric Corporation to cut off the supply to the heavily bombarded strip.


It comes just hours after Hamas told US officials it is open to releasing American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander as part of talks to end the war.

Cohen said in a video address: "We will employ all the tools available to us so that all the hostages will return, and we will ensure that Hamas won’t be in Gaza on the ‘day after,'"
