Israel” sends a delegation to Qatar for ceasefire talks despite rejecting Hamas’s proposed amendments.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced on Sunday that a negotiating team will travel to Doha for intensified Gaza ceasefire discussions.
The move comes in response to an invitation from Qatari mediators, with Netanyahu reportedly instructing the team to engage in “close talks” on the latest truce proposal aimed at ending the nearly two-year-long war.
In its statement, however, the Israeli government rejected revisions put forward by Hamas to the proposed agreement, calling them “unacceptable,” without offering further details.
Despite this, the decision to dispatch negotiators to the Qatari capital suggests growing pressure—particularly from the United States—to reach an agreement before Netanyahu’s upcoming meeting with President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday.
Hamas submits unified Palestinian ceasefire response to mediators
Hamas delivers a unified Palestinian response to Gaza ceasefire talks after consultations with factions as an Israeli delegation is expected in Doha for negotiations.
The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas announced on Saturday that it has completed wide-ranging consultations with fellow Palestinian factions and submitted a joint response to mediators on the latest ceasefire framework aimed at halting the Israeli occupation’s war on the Gaza Strip.
In a statement issued by its National Relations Office, Hamas said it held “an extensive series of contacts” with leaders of national and Islamic factions to coordinate and agree on a single position regarding the proposal’s terms and the mechanisms for implementation.
The talks, described as “serious and practical,” produced what the movement called a “unified national consensus” backing the stance of the Palestinian resistance.
“All factions welcomed this unified reply,” the statement noted, adding that the response was forwarded to mediators “in a positive spirit and with full unanimity” after both internal and external consultations were finalized.
