Qatar is currently the main mediator between Israel and Hamas over the issue of the hostages.
The Biden administration is also working with Qatar on this issue because several of the hostages Hamas is holding are Americans.Israel made the decision in part because Hamas refused to give Israel via Qatar a list of names of all the hostages it is holding, the officials said.
A third source briefed on the talks said progress had been made. The Mossad is Israel's foreign intelligence agency. Representatives of the families of the hostages who met with Netanyahu and Gallant in recent days said they want the government to agree to an "everyone for everyone" deal with Hamas.
