Officials in Israel said on Wednesday that they were aware that there were contradicting responses from Hamas in and outside Gaza, in the negotiations for a new hostage release deal.
The officials also said the proposal put forth by Qatar, was a non-starter because it included Israel's withdrawal of its troops from Gaza and an end to the war, in exchange for the release of the Israeli captives. The war cabinet met on Wednesday to discuss the negotiations.
