Hamas has announced it will not participate in upcoming ceasefire talks scheduled in Qatar, citing the need for mediators to push Israel to comply with previously agreed terms rather than entertain new proposals. This decision follows a recent Israeli airstrike on the Al-Tabeen School, which resulted in the deaths of over 90 Palestinians, a move Hamas has condemned as a massacre. Despite their absence, Hamas remains open to discussions with mediators if Israel provides a serious response to their demands. The ongoing conflict has escalated, with nearly 40,000 Palestinians reported dead due to the Israeli offensive since October. Hostage families in Israel are urging Prime Minister Netanyahu to finalize a ceasefire deal, as tensions remain high in the region. The situation continues to evolve as international mediators from the U.S., Qatar, and Egypt prepare for negotiations amidst the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
