On the issue of the release of detainees, Israel demanded veto power for the release of 65 Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life imprisonment. The source said that < b > Israel rejected the solution proposed by Egypt, Qatar and the United States as mediators on the disputed issue, and the mediators were "frustrated".
