What they say:
The source stated that Qatar conveyed the current positions of both sides to Israel and Hamas yesterday and is waiting to hear their response.
Four Israeli, American and Arab sources said that the talks between the United States and Qatar are focused on a possible deal between Israel and Gaza, in which a two-month truce will be announced in the fighting in Gaza in exchange for the release of all the abductees in several stages.
An Israeli senior official claimed that he shared a change for the worse in the position of Hamas, which has hardened its positions in recent days.
