Israel is awaiting Hamas' response regarding the exchange deal and talk of Netanyahu's efforts to make it fail. Israeli Channel 13 quoted an Israeli official as saying that Tel Aviv has not yet received a response from Hamas regarding the possible prisoner exchange deal.
The features of the agreement were formulated last weekend during a meeting in Paris attended by CIA Director William Burns and officials from Egypt, Israel and Qatar. The head of Hamas's political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, announced last Tuesday that the movement had received the deal proposal and that it was studying it.
