Israel and Hamas to hold indirect ceasefire talks in Qatar
Israel and Hamas are set to engage in indirect ceasefire negotiations in Qatar as hopes for a resolution to the ongoing conflict in Gaza flicker anew. A delegation from Israel will travel to Doha, despite labeling Hamas's previous demands as "unacceptable."
These talks come as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to meet with former U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington D.C. on Monday evening. Trump has publicly urged a ceasefire between the two sides.
The renewed openness to negotiations signals a potential shift after weeks of intense fighting. Qatar has historically played a mediating role in Israeli-Palestinian conflicts. A ceasefire would bring much-needed relief to civilians impacted by the war.
The situation remains fragile, but this diplomatic push offers a glimmer of hope for a peaceful future.
