A source in Hamas, speaking to Al Mayadeen, denied the return to the negotiations on Tuesday as claimed by Israeli media.

Earlier, a senior Palestinian Resistance source told Al Mayadeen that the Israeli occupation is not serious in its attempts to return to negotiations, emphasizing Hamas' insistence on stopping Israeli massacres against the people of Gaza.

The senior source emphasized that Hamas "believes that Israel is not serious" about reaching a deal, perceiving "Israel's" maneuvers as attempts to obscure and justify its continued perpetration of criminal acts against the Palestinian people.

Conflicting Israeli reports about restart of captives talks

Conflicting reports have been handled by Israeli media, whose source appears to all be journalist Barak Ravid., who himself, in a post on X, denied that any negotiations are set for later this week right after announcing their resumption.

Negotiations expected to renew?

CIA Director Bill Burns met with Mossad Chief David Barnea in Washington and upon the latter's return, Israeli i24 news and Barak Ravid both noted that, according to Israeli officials, "Israel", the US, and Qatar have agreed to resume indirect negotiations with Hamas on the release of Israeli settlers and soldiers held captive in the Gaza Strip, the liberation of Palestinian detainees in Israeli prisons, and a potential truce in Gaza.

According to reports, the upcoming round of talks, which the US, "Israel", and Qatar are reportedly ready to hold is set to be mediated by Egypt and Qatar following the Paris Paper put forward by CIA Director Burns, Mossad Chief Barnea, and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.

On that note, Ravid stressed that the mediation will include the "active involvement of the US."

Ravid, shortly after, posted that the Biden administration was surprised by the Israeli announcement about the resumption of negotiations on a captives deal.

Allegedly, the Israeli occupation's war cabinet has expanded the mandate of the Israeli negotiating team. Initially, it was claimed, that Israeli occupation Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opposed this expansion, but he was swayed by widespread support for the move and the recent release of a video by the Palestinian Resistance movement al-Qassam Brigades.

Or no negotiations to expect?

However, in his latest post on X, Ravid contradicted his earlier statement, saying, "There is a significant attempt to renew the negotiations on the abductees deal," adding that "the meeting in Paris was a step in the right direction."

Moreover, Ravid added that "the negotiations have not been renewed and at this point they will not be renewed this week," defining negotiations as "negotiations teams from Israel, Qatar, Egypt, the USA and Hamas who sit in a certain place and try to reduce gaps."
