Qatar says Netanyahu rejected early deal to free all Gaza hostages

Original: Netanyahu refused a deal offered by Hamas to get hostages out of Gaza very early in the war "Qatar's PM says Israel reje

Qatar's prime minister says Israel rejected a Hamas proposal, made soon after the October 7 attacks, to release all civilian hostages in exchange for a temporary pause. He said the message from Hamas was clear, including a requested window for the release. Critics say Prime Minister Netanyahu's refusal prolonged the war and the hostages' captivity, while supporters argue early concessions to Hamas would have been dangerous.

Why now: The claim from a key mediator reignites debate over whether the war and hostage crisis could have ended far earlier.
