Doha Talks Resume as Israel-Hamas Negotiations Face Stalemate

Efforts mediated by Qatar, Egypt, and the U.S. focus on a potential ceasefire and hostage release after months of escalating conflict.

• Israel and Hamas have resumed indirect negotiations in Doha, with mediators working to address key sticking points such as the release of hostages and a potential ceasefire.
• Israel seeks the return of 96 hostages, while Hamas demands the release of Palestinian prisoners and a phased Israeli troop withdrawal from Gaza.
• The talks, involving intelligence officials and military representatives, follow a failed attempt in December and are complicated by deep disagreements on prisoner exchanges and military presence in Gaza.
• On the ground, Israeli airstrikes have targeted over 100 sites in Gaza in response to Hamas attacks, resulting in significant casualties, including civilians, according to local reports.
• U.S. officials, including National Security Advisor John Kirby, have expressed cautious optimism about progress, while protests in Israel demand faster action to secure a hostage deal.
