Israel gave mediators on Tuesday night a document with its key points in response to Hamas’s unsatisfactory reply last week, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12. The document was given to Hamas.
The development comes as US special envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to land in Israel tomorrow, with a focus on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
He will also discuss frozen talks to achieve a ceasefire and hostage release deal between Israel and Hamas.
