Indirect ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas have begun in Qatar, mediated by Qatar and Egypt. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu is simultaneously heading to Washington to meet with President Trump. While Hamas reportedly responded positively to a ceasefire proposal, significant gaps remain, particularly regarding the end of hostilities and troop withdrawal. Netanyahu emphasizes the release of hostages and destroying Hamas capabilities as priorities. The Israeli military continues its offensive, while civilian casualties in Gaza mount. The talks face uncertainty, with internal Israeli divisions on the terms of a potential ceasefire.
