Israel's prime minister has said there is "uncertainty" about the condition of three of 24 hostages previously believed to be alive in Hamas captivity in Gaza.
Benjamin Netanyahu said he knew "with certainty" that 21 hostages were alive but the status of "three more" was unclear.
His comments came after US President Donald Trump said 24 hostages were alive a week ago but the figure was now 21. He made the comments while speaking at an event at the White House on Tuesday and did not cite a source or provide further details.
The Hostages and Missing Families Forum had demanded information.
