New talks between Israel and Hamas are scheduled in Qatar on Sunday
PublicationsNew talks between Israel and Hamas to broker a ceasefire are expected to begin in Qatar as early as Sunday afternoon, but could be postponed until Monday, the Associated Press news agency quoted Egyptian officials as saying.
The talks come amid Israel's review of a Hamas-proposed deal on a ceasefire and hostage and prisoner exchange. The three-stage deal calls for the return of 35 Israeli hostages in exchange for the release of 350 Palestinian prisoners and calls for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza and the lifting of the blockade.
