Source?

Was on a WhatsApp group. I guess it was untrue.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Honestly, if we want to get the hostages out safely, he might be right in the near term

Maybe, an analyst on Israeli TV just suggested that Arouri out of the picture helps Israel's position in hostage negotiations precisely because Arouri was an opponent of Sinwar's and now he can't voice his opinion against any agreement that Sinwar might be open to. Basically (at least) one less cook in their kitchen.

All the Arab tweets I've seen with this picture say it's Sameer Fendi (the tweet below seems ambiguous as to who is in the picture).

Hamas negotiators have waived the condition of a final ceasefire and the withdrawal of IDF forces from Gaza in the ongoing talks with Israel for a second hostage release.

Talks have "accelerated significantly in recent hours," with "Cairo and Doha making persistent efforts."

The terrorist group is now open  to the release of 40 hostages in exchange for 120 prisoners held by Israel, the report said, adding that Hamas had demanded a one-day ceasefire in exchange for each hostage released, but Israel refused. 

Sources say that Hamas wants the next ceasefire to be longer than the previous exchange, but is open to proceeding along the same lines, i.e. ten women and children hostages released each day in exchange for 30 Arab prisoners, all women and minors, held in Israel on security offenses. - Jerusalem Post
In light of recent events, Hamas halted negotiations.
