Israel-Gaza War, Hostage Negotiations
Hostage negotiations hit snag: Hamas fails to produce list of names
Israel decided not to send a delegation to Cairo to continue the talks regarding the hostage deal after Hamas sent a reply to Qatar that did not include reference to the list of hostages
Officials familiar with the negotiations between Israel and Hamas have announced that an Israeli delegation will not attend a summit in Cairo after Qatar stated that Hamas' answer does not allow progress in the talks.
According to the Qataris, the terrorist organization sent a reply to Israel without reference to a list of abductees it is willing to free and keys to the deal, even though last night it was announced that a senior member of the Biden administration claimed that Israel agreed to an outline that includes a 6-week ceasefire and the release of hostages.
According to the same American source, "(Hamas leader) Islmail Haniyeh spoke with the Emir of Qatar about the details of the deal and they are working around the clock to make this happen both to increase humanitarian aid and save the lives of the abductees. The ball is in Hamas's court, and they continue to push with all their might."
