"Israel-Hamas Hostage Deal Talks Are Paused Amid Ongoing Rafah Fighting" - Politico
Talks for a hostage deal between Israel and Hamas have paused — in part because of the ongoing fighting in Rafah, according to two people familiar with the negotiations.
兩位熟悉談判的人士說，以色列和哈馬斯之間關於人質交易的談判已經暫停，部分原因是拉法的戰鬥仍在繼續。
Hamas is still willing to negotiate a deal but has largely stepped back from the table because of Israel's operation in the city, the people said. Both were granted anonymity to speak freely about the hostage talks.
人們說，哈馬斯仍然願意談判一項協議，但由於以色列在該市的行動，哈馬斯基本上退出了談判桌。兩人都被允許匿名，可以暢所欲言地談論人質會談。
The people stressed that this is does not mean talks have broken down completely. U.S. personnel are remaining in Doha to keep tabs on the situation and to continue to touch base with all parties, they said.
人們強調，這並不意味着談判已經完全破裂。他們說，美國人員仍留在多哈，以密切關注局勢，並繼續與各方保持聯繫。
