Hamas officials told Kan 11 News on Monday that Israel so far not responded to the proposal by the head of the organization, Yahya Sinwar, to advance a partial deal in exchange for the release of elderly and sick prisoners.
"We have not received any message through mediators or any other pipeline. Israel ignores Sinwar's initiative for a humanitarian gesture. Netanyahu does not want to move the issue, the ball is in his court," said the officials.
