Gaza Hostage-Ceasefire Talks Gain Momentum, May Extend Beyond Week
Ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas in Doha, facilitated by U.S., Qatari, and Egyptian mediators, are ongoing but expected to require more than a few days to finalize due to critical gaps between the sides. The talks focus on a phased release of hostages, Israeli troop withdrawals from parts of Gaza, and broader discussions on ending the war, with Hamas demanding an end to fighting before releasing hostages, while Israel insists on hostage release and Hamas' dismantling prior to ceasefire. Senior Israeli officials express cautious optimism, acknowledging progress but highlighting complex issues such as control over key corridors in Gaza and the future governance of the Strip, with possibilities including temporary Israeli administration or involvement of forces aligned with the Palestinian Authority. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump maintain close coordination, with multiple high-level meetings and the involvement of Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff to advance the negotiations. Humanitarian aid distribution and the denial of Hamas' authority to manage it remain contentious points. The Israeli leadership envisions a Gaza without Hamas, potentially with exile of its leaders and demilitarization, signaling a post-conflict restructuring of authority in the territory.
