Israeli media reported that there is no final agreement on Gaza, despite intense US pressure on mediators from Egypt and Qatar to influence Hamas. The negotiations are currently at a delicate stage.

Israel's Channel 12 reported that the current negotiations are seeking to reach an agreement based on the proposal presented by US Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff, before any military escalation.

She pointed out that US pressure is focused on trying to pass this proposal without any new initiatives being put forward so far.

For its part, the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper quoted Israeli officials as confirming that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yisrael Katz are insisting on presenting an image that Israel is still trying to exhaust all opportunities to reach a deal, despite the complexities of the situation.

In a related context, the Israeli Channel 10, citing an official, reported that "Israel has decided to give negotiations an additional opportunity before deciding to expand the military operation in Gaza," stressing that "there is no new initiative currently on the table."

An Israeli source told i24 that "no new proposal has been put forward by the mediators yet," indicating that the negotiations remain deadlocked, despite ongoing attempts to salvage them.
