Hamas to resume indirect Gaza ceasefire talks in Qatar soon: Report

A senior Hamas figure said on Monday that a delegation is heading to Qatar soon for another round of indirect talks with Israel aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza.

This comes as Gaza’s Health Ministry confirmed 38 more deaths in the past 24 hours, reported the Associated Press.

Recent discussions in Cairo focused on possible terms for a truce, including a proposal that would see Hamas release between eight and ten hostages.But the big sticking point is whether any deal would actually bring the war to a full stop.

The Qatar meetings are expected to take place either later this week or early next, according to the Hamas official, who requested anonymity due to the sensitivity of the talks, speaking to AP.

Israeli and Qatari officials have yet to comment.
