A senior official involved in the negotiations revealed that after a thorough analysis of Hamas's response to the new hostage deal proposal delivered by U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, the terror organization's demands are far from Israel's offer. Among the demands: a ceasefire for up to seven years, complete IDF withdrawal from all territories captured since March, cancellation of the new humanitarian model and return to the previous aid distribution format. "This is not an answer - this is closing the door," the official said.
