Hamas is sending a delegation to Qatar to engage in indirect ceasefire discussions with Israel, exploring a proposal involving the release of ten hostages for a 45-day ceasefire. The tentative agreement includes provisions for humanitarian aid to Gaza, which has been under Israeli blockade since October 7, when Hamas launched an attack that resulted in numerous casualties. A critical issue in negotiations is whether the ongoing conflict will conclude as part of any deal. Hamas vehemently opposes disarmament clauses, insisting on fundamental terms for a lasting ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
