Gaza ceasefire negotiations are set to take place in Doha today, with key players including Qatar, Egypt, and the US working towards a truce and a hostage-prisoner exchange after over ten months of conflict. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed Israel's participation, while US officials are pushing for Hamas involvement. The talks, influenced by a framework proposed by US President Joe Biden, aim to establish a phased truce. A Hamas official indicated ongoing consultations with mediators, but participation remains uncertain. Recent talks have been complicated by internal and external pressures, including Iran's involvement.
