Israel's Mossad intelligence team engaged in high-stakes discussions with Qatari mediators in Doha, seeking to redefine the terms for a renewed ceasefire in Gaza. The focus of the Qatar-mediated talks revolved around the potential release of Israeli hostages, expanding beyond the previous criteria of women and children. The negotiations addressed the parameters of the truce, differing from the collapsed agreement on Friday.

Efforts to extend the truce have faced obstacles, with accusations traded between Israel and Hamas.
