Senior Qatari government officials tell for the first time about their role in mediating between Israel and Hamas. "On October 9, we reached an agreement with Hamas on the release of the abductees," revealed a senior official.
"We were answered by Israel only on October 16," added the source, stating that Israel was determined to enter Gaza and try to free its hostages on its own. When asked about the remaining 134 hostages in Gaza, they all claimed that Hamas does not share information about their whereabouts or condition with them.
