An Israeli security source addressed Hamas's response to the hostage deal proposal and claimed that "Hamas simply does not agree with the maps" (IDF withdrawal maps). He added that "questions arise regarding their willingness to reach a deal." The source further noted that "Qatar and Egypt received a response from Hamas yesterday, which does not satisfy the mediators themselves, and they rejected it." According to him, the mediators instructed the organization to return with a "more relevant" response. The terrorist organization's response was not delivered to Israel at all, so Israel has still not received an official response.
