"Until this moment, we have not received a real response from Hamas regarding a prisoner exchange deal that includes your sons," Netanyahu addressed the families of hostages held in Gaza at the Ministry of Defense Headquarters in Tel Aviv.
"What has actually changed is the Qatari pressure on Hamas, which I have been pushing," he claimed.
There has been no comment from Doha on Netanyahu's claims.
Last week, talks in Cairo did not yield any tangible results toward reaching an agreement for a prisoner exchange within the framework of a temporary cease-fire.
Meanwhile, Hamas blamed Israel for the lack of progress in the indirect negotiations, citing Tel Aviv's refusal to provide guarantees to end the war in the Gaza Strip.
