Netanyahu Trades Hostages for Ceasefire Alongside Delegates in Qatar
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has gathered a professional team to Qatar that will be sealing a possible hostage and ceasefire agreement for him. That group, including Moshe Barnea and other advisors of his, left on a busy Saturday night.
Talks Are Underway
Meeting of Israeli officials, Katz alongside Biden representatives and many others took place and the Israeli side made a ground decision to assist and allow for time to negotiate with Trump’s interests. Netanyahu earlier that day had also visited Jerusalem alongside Trump.
Sources that are affiliated with Hamas have reached out for the messages and are saying that with the settlement almost done they would be looking for Quelques Netanyahu is saying that Green Light is all that is needed.
Major Influences on the Conclusion
There has been a November Proposal that has been expected to arise along the borders of Egypt located in Gaza, that would facilitate the help for Philadelphi strongholds. The complete takeover was to be placed at the very end of the agreement with Hamas coming to the decision to try and mitigate all of the ongoing tips till all of the thought through phases were completed.
Role of Mediators
Mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and the United States have reportedly backed the Hamas side and pointed out that an agreement is close to being reached. Meanwhile, US representatives have been less pessimistic, with CIA Chief William Burns dubbing the talks as “fairly serious” while White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby hoped for a resolution to the crisis much before January 20.
Outstanding Issues
Israel however, continues to insist that it will not entertain any ceasefire proposal if it requires a total cessation of its military operations. Further, negotiations have been complicated as Hamas has not yet provided a detailed list of hostages alive.
In case Israel agrees to the deal, coordinating countries plan to reveal the specifics and the timetable during a press conference which would be relatively significant in the case of the conflict.
