BlockBeats news, on May 19, a senior official from the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), who wished to remain anonymous, stated that there has been no progress in the ceasefire negotiations held in Qatar.
The official stated that Israel insists on reaching a partial agreement, which includes the release of some hostages, but does not commit to ending the war. On the other hand, Hamas believes that only by releasing more Palestinian prisoners, achieving a lasting ceasefire, and having Israeli troops withdraw from the Gaza Strip, will they release the remaining Israeli hostages.
