Israel has denied media reports about receiving a “final draft” of a Gaza cease-fire and prisoner exchange agreement with Hamas, Anadolu reports.

The Israeli daily Haaretz, citing an Israeli source, denied that a final draft had been sent.

There was no immediate comment from Qatar on the report.

Haaretz, citing unnamed Israeli sources, reported “a breakthrough in hostage release negotiations at around midnight overnight into Monday.”

A source familiar with the negotiations told the newspaper that both Israel and Hamas are “ very, very close to a deal,“ without further elaborating.
