Israel Sends Team to Qatar for Gaza Hostage Talks
Amid increasing calls for a ceasefire, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dispatched a negotiating team to Qatar to further discussions on a hostage release and ceasefire in Gaza.
Netanyahu's US Visit
This development occurs simultaneously with Netanyahu's visit to the United States for discussions with President Trump, where he hopes to advance the negotiation process.
Netanyahu stated that the Israeli negotiators have clear instructions to secure a ceasefire agreement under conditions acceptable to Israel.
Hamas' Response
Palestinian militant group Hamas has responded positively to a US-backed truce proposal. However, some concerns remain, particularly regarding humanitarian aid and troop withdrawals.
Despite disagreements, Netanyahu's office has affirmed the delegation's commitment to securing the release of hostages.
