Israel and Hamas to hold indirect talks | BBC News

Описание:

Israel has decided to send a delegation to Qatar on Sunday for proximity talks with Hamas on the latest proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office described the changes that Hamas wanted to make to a plan, presented by mediators from Qatar, the US and Egypt, as “unacceptable”. On Friday, Hamas said it had delivered a "positive response" to the proposal for a 60‑day ceasefire and that it was ready for negotiations. However, a Palestinian official said the group had sought amendments including a guarantee that hostilities would not resume if talks on a permanent truce failed.
