Negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release deal are scheduled to resume either in Egypt or Qatar on Thursday, with US mediators touting the summit as what may be the final opportunity to release the hostages captured by Hamas on October 7, end the 10-month-long war in Gaza and avoid the possibility of an all-out regional war with the involvement of Iran. The terror group issued a statement on Monday indicating that it would not attend the meeting unless mediators coaxed Israel into agreeing to the updated proposal that the terror group submitted in early July in response to the US-backed outline. The offer saw Hamas cave on its long-held central demand that Israel commit up-front to a permanent ceasefire. The response from Israel came in the form of Netanyahu’s list of amended demands, which Hamas then rejected. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office was swift to announced last week that Israel would send its negotiators to August 15 talks “to finalize the details of the implementation of the agreement framework,” after the US, Qatar and Egypt issued a joint statement demanding a deal be sealed and implemented without further delay, A member of the negotiation team told Israel’s Channel 12 on Tuesday evening that there was no point in traveling to the talks if Netanyahu didn’t expand the team’s mandate. The parameters within which the Israeli team will be expected to conduct negotiations have yet to be decided on, and will be set in a meeting with the prime minister later this week, according to the report. Earlier this month, the Israeli delegation warned Netanyahu that it wouldn’t be possible to reach a deal with the new demands he issued in late July. timesofisrael.com
