A Palestinian source familiar with the negotiations told Ynet that Hamas is working on revising its response to U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff's proposal, making it more positive to serve as a basis for talks. Witkoff has pressured mediators for Hamas to submit a new response that would align closer to his proposal, hoping it would also serve as groundwork for proximity talks in Doha. The Americans expect to achieve a breakthrough announcement by Eid al-Adha, which falls this week.
