Israel’s technical team is holding working-level talks with Qatari mediators in Doha to discuss the remaining issues in a potential Gaza ceasefire deal. The talks focus on bridging gaps between Israel and Hamas, building on US President Joe Biden’s May proposal. Although efforts by Egypt, Qatar, and the US have gained momentum, no breakthrough has been achieved yet. The three countries have led fruitless talks for over a year to broker an end to the 14-month-long Gaza war, with previous rounds stalled due to disagreements over Israel’s future military presence in the territory.
