Hamas appears to confirm the Israeli announcement that the terror group had submitted an updated hostage deal proposal to Qatari and Egyptian mediators.

“We exchanged some ideas with the mediators with the goal of stopping the war and the full withdrawal from the Gaza Strip,” says Hamas in a statement.

The statement adds that Hamas was flexible in its demands, while Israel is “trying to deceive and evade.”
