Ceasefire talks to continue in Qatar
Mediated ceasefire negotiations are set to continue in Qatar’s capital Doha today. Israeli and Hamas officials are taking part in the indirect talks with mediators from Egypt, Qatar and the US.
The US is represented by its special envoy Steve Witkoff and hostage envoy Adam Boehler, who are due in Doha after meeting families of captives in Tel Aviv on Tuesday. Witkoff told the families he believed there was a “genuine chance for progress” in Doha where President Trump is expected to arrive this morning.
