Israeli Delegation Expected to Depart for Qatar

An Israeli delegation is expected to travel to Qatar in the coming days to advance negotiations over a potential hostage deal, following what officials describe as a “principled positive response” from Hamas to the proposed framework. According to sources familiar with the talks, Hamas is seeking adjustments to three core elements of the current outline: the scale and timeline of the IDF’s withdrawal from Gaza, a shift in how humanitarian aid is distributed—particularly ending oversight by the American-established fund—and a firm commitment to a permanent ceasefire.
