Gaza truce talks reportedly stall despite Netanyahu-Trump meeting

A Palestinian official told the BBC that negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Qatar in a new Qatar in Gaza and the hostage of the hostage were stopped three days after indirect talks.

The official said the main sticks included how to distribute aid while the ceasefire to the Israeli forces.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is visiting the United States and the hopes of an agreement that has been raised because he held a secondary meeting that is not scheduled with President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

“Now to” one case “was not resolved in the Doha talks and that he was hoping for a 60 -day ceasefire agreement by the end of this week.

The design of the dances between Trump and Netanyahu gave the impression that the momentum towards the ceasefire deal in Gaza is growing.

In a statement issued on Wednesday morning, the Israeli Prime Minister said that their last meeting “focuses on the efforts made to issue our hostages.”

“We do not deal, even for a moment, and this is possible due to military pressure by our heroic soldiers.”

He added: “We are determined to achieve all our goals: the launch and the Enver, and the elimination of Hamas military capabilities and rule, ensures that Gaza will not again pose a threat to Israel.”

Israel says that 50 hostages are still in captivity, up to 20 of them are still alive.

Wittakov said that Israel and Hamas were closing the gap over the issues that prevented them from reaching a deal.

“We are in recent talks now, we have four cases, and now we are on one way,” he told reporters on Tuesday.

“Therefore, we hope that by the end of this week, we will have an agreement that will lead to a 60 -day ceasefire.”

However, it is unclear whether it has made a lot of progress so far during the four conversations rounds that occurred in Doha since Sunday.

A Palestinian official informed the negotiations to BBC on Wednesday that they had been stopped.

According to the official, the impasse is due to the refusal of the Israeli delegation to allow the entry of unrestricted humanitarian aid to Gaza through the United Nations agencies and other international organizations.

Israel was insisting on preserving what the official described as a “current humiliating mechanism” to distribute aid- in reference to the United States and Israel Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which uses private security contractors to bypass the United Nations.

The source also indicated that Israel continued to reject calls for the withdrawal of its forces from the Gaza areas that it occupied since March 18 – when Israel resumed its attack, another ceasefire collapsed – which increases the complexity of progress in the negotiations.

Qatar – which works as a mediator, along with the United States and Egypt – warned that more time is needed to make progress.

“I don’t think I can give any timetable at the present time, but I can now say that we will need a time for that,” said Qatar Foreign Ministry spokesman in Qatar on Tuesday.

With talks aimed at providing a 21 -month -old war, they are surprising to face difficulties.

But it seems that the Trump administration is still optimistic at the present time, as Witkev is still going to go to Doha at some point in the coming days.

According to media reports, the current proposal will witness that Hamas received more than 28 hostages – 10 alive and 18 dead – in stages during a 60 -day ceasefire.

Large numbers of Palestinians of Israeli prisons will be launched in exchange for hostages.

There will also be an increase in delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

After the return of the first eight living hostages on the first day of the agreement, the Israeli forces will withdraw from parts of the north. After the seventh day, they left parts of the south.

On the tenth day, the enthusiasm of the hostages will be alive and their condition, while Israel will provide details about more than 2000 Ghazan held during the war.

Since these details are crushed in Doha, on the ground in Gaza, at least 20 people were killed in Israeli strikes during the night on a tent in the southern Khan Yunis area and at home in the Al -Shuti refugee camp, northwest of Gaza City, according to the civil defense agency in Hamas.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army.

The Israeli army launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas -led attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, where about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others took hostage.

At least 57,575 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health in the region.

Most of the people of Gaza were displaced several times. More than 90 % of homes are estimated at damage or destruction; Healthcare, water, sanitation and hygiene systems collapsed; There is a lack of food, fuel, medicine and shelter.
