Hamas has dropped its demand for the implementation of an immediate and permanent ceasefire before the first phase of the hostage deal.
This development led Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to send a delegation to Doha, headed by Mossad Director David Barnea.
A US official announced, “We’ve had a breakthrough on what has been a critical impasse in the deal” and said the issue that needs to be worked out is the “implementation sequencing.”
The disagreement between Hamas and Israel on the declaration of a ceasefire was the critical impasse that prevented any hostage deal from materializing since the truce in November that saw the release of 105 hostages.
