Noting that the negotiations will continue today, the official expressed hope that progress would be made in the talks within 48 hours.
Meanwhile, the Israeli press wrote that the Israeli negotiating team remained in Doha to continue the talks today.
Negotiations between Israel and Hamas aimed at a hostage exchange and a ceasefire in Gaza had begun in Doha.
The negotiations were attended by officials led by Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Bill Burns, Egyptian Intelligence Chief Abbas Kamel, and Mossad Director David Barnea.
Hamas, which had announced it would not participate in the negotiations, stated that it had requested the mediators to present a plan to implement the points agreed upon on July 2 (based on the vision of US President Joe Biden and the UN Security Council resolution) and to obtain a clear commitment from Israel to adhere to this plan.
