Gaza mediators ‘intensifying' efforts to reach deal in Doha
Gaza ceasefire talks remain in their 'first phase' after more than a week of talks, even as mediators step up efforts to broker a truce between Israel and Hamas, Qatar said Tuesday. 'Discussions on the framework agreement are still ongoing. Both delegations are present here in Doha, and the mediators are intensifying efforts to reach an agreement,' Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari told reporters. 'The negotiations are still in the first phase, which is specifically about reaching an agreement of principle ahead of negotiations that will begin, God willing, in the next phase,' he said. But uncertainty loomed over the efforts, which had appeared deadlocked over the weekend, with each side accusing the other of staking out positions that prevented a deal from being reached. 'We cannot say whether an agreement will be reached tomorrow or whether the negotiations will collapse tomorrow,' al-Ansari said. On Saturday, Palestinian sources told AFP that Israel's proposals for keeping troops in the territory were preventing progress towards a deal. But the Qatari spokesman insisted: 'We believe there is no stalemate,' adding there was no set timeframe for the talks. Qatar has been mediating indirect negotiations between the warring parties alongside Egypt and the United States.

Hamas Says It Is Ready to Negotiate Truce Proposal
The Palestinian militant group Hamas said on Friday that it was ready to immediately enter negotiations on a new proposal for a 60-day Gaza cease-fire with Israel. President Trump said on Tuesday that Israel had agreed to the conditions for a temporary truce, and he called on Hamas to do the same. 'The movement submitted the response' to mediators, Hamas said in a statement late Friday night, adding it was 'characterized as being positive.' It was not immediately clear whether Hamas was demanding any significant changes to the proposal and whether any gaps could be easily bridged or create new hurdles to an agreement. The two sides have come close before to such agreements, only to see them unravel at the last minute over the details. The proposal calls for hostage-for-prisoner swaps and negotiations leading to a permanent end to the nearly two-year-old war in Gaza. Mr. Trump said earlier this week that he had been pressuring Israel and Hamas to make a deal ahead of a visit by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to Washington on Monday.
