Efforts to broker a hostage deal remain stalled, with no significant progress, a source familiar with the talks told Ynet Monday night.
Israel’s delegation in Qatar—comprising senior Mossad officials, a team led by Maj. Gen. (res.) Nitzan Alon, and Shin Bet representatives—continues its efforts.
“We’re now waiting on Hamas for a response, but a positive answer seems unlikely,” the source said, noting skepticism over Hamas agreeing to a limited deal for a cease-fire without ending the war. “Progress hasn’t met expectations, and it’s no longer a matter of days.”
