Israel has not received a draft proposal for a deal to halt the fighting in Gaza and return its hostages, an Israeli official said on Monday.

Earlier, an official briefed on the negotiations said Qatar had handed Israel and Hamas a "final" draft of a ceasefire and hostage release agreement designed to end the war in Gaza.
