Israel sees progress in Hamas response to cease-fire deal
Israel’s Mossad has confirmed that Qatar and Egypt have relayed a positive response from Hamas regarding Israel’s proposal for a prisoner and cease-fire agreement in Gaza.
Axios reports that senior Israeli officials view the updated response as constructive, paving the way for more extensive negotiations.
The Biden administration, intervening with revised language, aims to bridge gaps in the deal.
These provisions of the deal outline negotiations between Israel and Hamas during the initial phase of the proposed three-part agreement, aiming for sustained calm in Gaza.
Key sticking points include prisoner exchanges and the demilitarization of Gaza.
While Israel scrutinizes the response, officials acknowledge progress but anticipate tough negotiations ahead, potentially lasting weeks.
A successful agreement would mark a significant achievement for President Joe Biden amidst domestic pressures.
Next steps involve Israeli leaders deliberating over whether to proceed to detailed negotiations in Qatar or Egypt.
