The directive, reported today (Thursday) by Moriah Asraf of Channel 13 News, includes the working-level staff as well, in light of the deadlock in negotiations over the release of the hostages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Hamas continues to cling to its refusal&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nTwo days ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu instructed the senior negotiating team to return from Doha, leaving a smaller Israeli team in Qatar in order to demonstrate to the Americans that Israel remains willing to advance the deal.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister\u2019s Office clarified: \u201cIsrael agrees to the American proposal for the return of the hostages, which is based on the Witkoff outline. This proposal was recently delivered to Hamas through the mediators, but so far, it continues to cling to its refusal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After approximately a week of intense negotiations in Doha, the senior negotiating team returned to Israel for consultations. For now, only the working-level staff remained in Qatar.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24026\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24026\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24026 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-158-1024x671.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-158-1024x671.webp 1024w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-158-300x197.webp 300w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-158-768x503.webp 768w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-158-1536x1007.webp 1536w, https:\/\/reganews.co.il\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2-158.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24026\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Prime Minister\u2019s Statement | Photo: Haim Zach, GPO<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Twenty hostages confirmed alive&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nIn a press conference held yesterday, the Prime Minister addressed the fate of the hostages directly, stating: \u201cThere are twenty hostages confirmed to be alive, and the circumstances of death for up to thirty-eight others are still being investigated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His comments came in response to the families\u2019 demand for accurate and up-to-date information, and highlight the deep complexity of the humanitarian issue.
