Is there a source for the claim that Hamas offered to return hostages but Israel refused?

it was hamas saying it so i doubt itll be enough to convince libs

Hostages without an option to return them are pretty useless

I don't have any sources for the claim, but the fact that the hostages they released so far were released through Egypt and Qatar should tell you everything you need to know about Israel's willingness to negotiate

Having a source on that would definitely help me shut some people up.
