The Prime Minister's Office addressed the expected return of the negotiating team from Doha, stating that "Israel agrees to the American proposal for returning the hostages, based on the Woitchek framework. This proposal was recently transmitted to Hamas through mediators, but so far they continue to maintain their refusal." It was further reported that "After about a week of intensive contacts in Doha, the senior negotiating team will return home for consultations, while working-level staff will remain in Doha at this stage."
