Over the weekend, Israel asked to make several “minor updates” to the hostage deal proposal it submitted last week, an official familiar with the matter tells The Times of Israel.
The official does not specify what the updates were, but insists that they are not significant enough to torpedo the proposal.
The official adds that Hamas leaders’ reactions to the latest Israeli proposal has been “overwhelmingly positive” thus far, though the group has yet to submit an official response, including to the latest Israeli amendments.
The official says the mediators have not been this optimistic about the chances for a deal in months.
