After reports that the Mossad chief met with senior American and Qatari officials to press for another phase of the return of abducted Israelis to Gaza, Reuters reported on Sunday that Israel and Hamas were open to a renewed ceasefire and the release of hostages. However, they say there are still differences of opinion about some of the details.

According to the report, Egyptian security sources claim that Hamas insists on unilaterally determining the list of abductees and that IDF forces will withdraw to a predetermined border. According to them, Israel has asked to see Hamas' list of abductees in order to determine the date and duration of the ceasefire, but refuses to withdraw the forces.
In contrast to Israel's report on low chances of another deal, CNN reported that the meeting between Mossad chief Dadi Barnea and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed al-Thani was "positive."
