The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that, according to Arab mediators, negotiations between Israel and Hamas over the release of the hostages have once again reached a dead end. 

According to the report, this is because the terrorist organization has once again insisted on its demand that Israel commit to an immediate complete cease-fire. 

It was also reported that the Biden administration has expressed frustration with the situation, and it seems that no deal is expected until Donald Trump enters the White House.
