The Palestinian group “Hamas“ has made significant adjustments to its position on a possible hostage-release deal with Israel, a senior US government official said, expressing hope that it would lead to a deal that would become a step towards a lasting ceasefire, Reuters reported, citing from BTA.
„We had a breakthrough,” the representative told journalists in a conference call, adding that there are still open issues related to the implementation of the agreement and that it is not expected to be finalized in the coming days.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told US President Joe Biden on Thursday that he has decided to send a delegation to renew negotiations with “Hamas” for the release of the hostages, led by the head of Israel's foreign intelligence service Mossad.
„We believe there is quite a significant opportunity here and we welcome the willingness of the Prime Minister (Netanyahu) to try to seize the opportunity by authorizing his negotiating team to enter into direct contact” in Doha in the coming days, the representative said.
