Jerusalem - Ma'an - An American official said that "the Director of the American Central Intelligence Agency held talks with Israel, Qatar and Egypt to amend the details of the proposal." The official added to the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz that reaching a settlement regarding the number of prisoners is possible because the exact details remain behind closed doors and are not announced. He said, "The US administration continues to work to reduce differences regarding the proposed deal, despite the atmosphere of pessimism." He continued: "The Biden administration was very disturbed by Netanyahu's statements regarding the army remaining in the Philadelphi corridor." "The chances of reaching an agreement with Hamas were already low, but Netanyahu reduced them even more after his statements," he said. Source: Maan News Agency
