Israel will send negotiators to Qatar for indirect talks with Hamas over a proposed Gaza ceasefire and hostage deal, despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling Hamas’s latest demands “unacceptable.” Hamas claims it gave a “positive response” to the US-backed plan for a 60-day truce and wants guarantees against resumed hostilities. Israel insists negotiations continue based on the original Qatari proposal. Over 57,000 people have died in Gaza since Israel’s military campaign began following the 7 October 2023 attack. US President Trump, who meets Netanyahu Monday, is pushing for a breakthrough and hopes for a major deal announcement next week. (PC: BBC)
