Disagreements within the Israeli delegation have stalled talks in Qatar regarding the number of Palestinian prisoners to be released in exchange for Israeli hostages. An American compromise has been proposed, but no major breakthrough has been achieved thus far. The Israeli team in Qatar has been given permission to negotiate the return of Palestinians to northern Gaza, with Hamas expected to respond after a few days. High-level officials, including Mossad Chief David Barnea and Senior Hamas representatives, have been involved in the discussions. Reports suggest potential conditions of the compromise, but no confirmation from Israeli authorities. The Hostage and Missing Families Forum held a rally advocating for a deal, with calls for action from both Israeli and US officials.
