This is the best summary I could come up with:
The step comes as Israel prepares for a major military operation in Rafah and after Hamas released a video on Wednesday showing that one of the captives, an Israeli-American citizen, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, 23, was alive.
Egyptian, Israeli, and US officials held in-person and remote meetings on Wednesday in an attempt to arrive at concessions that would revive a deal for a six-week pause to the war in exchange for the release of 40 of the captives.
Jon Polin and Rachel Goldberg-Polin, Hersh’s parents, said, “We are hopeful and prayerful that this is the beginning of a galvanizing force of these countries who are going to continue going forward and shout in a loud unified way that they are not stopping until all of these hostages come home.”
“The statement is the result of hard work carried out by the families of the abductees in recent months, in front of decision-makers from all over the world, with the aim of bringing all of them home, those who are alive for rehabilitation and the murdered for burial.
According to the statement, the leaders said they emphasized the deal on the table that would bring an immediate and prolonged ceasefire, facilitate a surge of necessary humanitarian assistance, and lead to a credible end of hostilities.
It was issued a day after President Joe Biden met in the Oval Office with former hostage Abigail Edan, a four-year-old American girl who had been captured after seeing her parents slain by Hamas fighters.
