Israel Sends Delegation to Qatar for Ceasefire Talks as Netanyahu Heads to Washington

In a significant diplomatic move, Israel dispatched a delegation to Qatar on Sunday to engage in indirect negotiations with Hamas over a potential ceasefire and hostage release deal in Gaza. The talks come just hours before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is scheduled to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington.

The Israeli government confirmed the delegation’s departure despite labeling Hamas’s proposed amendments to a U.S.-backed ceasefire plan as “unacceptable.” The plan, which includes a 60-day truce and the staggered release of hostages, has been met with cautious optimism by Hamas, which responded “in a positive spirit” but requested key changes regarding humanitarian aid, Israeli troop withdrawal, and long-term conflict resolution.

Public pressure is mounting on Netanyahu to secure a deal, with large demonstrations erupting in Tel Aviv demanding the return of approximately 50 hostages still held in Gaza. Meanwhile, internal divisions persist within Netanyahu’s coalition, with some hardline ministers opposing any agreement that falls short of Hamas’s total disarmament.

The outcome of the Qatar talks and Netanyahu’s meeting in Washington could prove pivotal in determining whether a path toward de-escalation in Gaza is achievable—or if the conflict will continue to grind on.
