Jordan Newsa day ago
Initial Results Revealed from First Round of Hamas–Israel Talks The U.S. news site Axios reported early Monday that the first indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas, held in Doha on Sunday, did not yield any decisive outcomes. اضافة اعلان According to a source familiar with the talks, the discussions, which took place indirectly on Sunday night in Qatar, focused primarily on mechanisms for delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, but ended without clear progress. Axios stated that negotiators from Israel and Hamas, along with Qatari and Egyptian mediators, convened in Doha in an effort to resolve the remaining points of contention in the ceasefire and prisoner exchange negotiations. Earlier on Sunday, Israel's public broadcaster confirmed the start of indirect negotiations in Doha aimed at reaching an agreement to end the war and secure the return of hostages. Axios also cited informed sources saying that former President Donald Trump is seeking to reach common ground with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu regarding the terms for ending the war in Gaza, during Netanyahu's upcoming visit to Washington, which will include a direct meeting between the two leaders. According to the sources, Trump is looking to leverage the momentum created by the recent ceasefire between Israel and Iran to achieve a breakthrough on Gaza this week. After four months of stalled talks, the renewed momentum in recent days is raising hopes for a potential ceasefire agreement. The former U.S. president reportedly sees this as a step toward a broader peace agreement, although Netanyahu has not yet shown willingness to sign any deal to end the war. Before departing Israel, Netanyahu stated that his meeting with Trump may help reach an agreement. Trump also told reporters on Sunday that he believes a deal could be reached this week. Axios noted that if a temporary ceasefire is agreed upon, the focus of the negotiations during the proposed 60-day truce will shift to post-war arrangements in Gaza. The U.S. side is seeking to reach understandings with the Israeli government on: Who will govern Gaza after the removal of Hamas,
And what security guarantees will be in place to prevent Hamas from regaining control of the Gaza Strip.

No timeline for negotiations, talks to continue until positive outcome, says Qatari FM spokesperson

The Official Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State of Qatar, Majed al-Ansari, said on Monday that mediation efforts are currently focused on reaching a stage that would lead to ending the war in Gaza, as both the 'Israeli' and Hamas delegations remain present and engaged in indirect discussions. In his statements, al-Ansari emphasized that talks are still in the early stages and revolve around a general framework. 'We are currently discussing a negotiation framework before moving into the final phase,' he said, adding that detailed negotiations have not yet begun. He noted that Qatari mediators are working separately with each delegation to facilitate the process and create a conducive environment for progress. 'Our goal is to bridge the gaps and set the stage for meaningful talks,' al-Ansari stated. While it is too early to disclose specifics, he said there are 'positive impressions' so far. However, he cautioned that the process will take time and that it is not possible to provide a clear timeline for results. Al-Ansari criticized media leaks related to the negotiations, calling them 'irresponsible actions' that could derail the fragile mediation efforts. 'The negotiation process requires calm, and such leaks lead to media pressure that may affect its course,' he warned. He also declined to comment on the precise authority of the 'Israeli' delegation but described their level of engagement as 'positive.'
