The Prime Minister said Israel sent the team to Gaza for talks despite Hamas’ request.

Israel has decided to send a delegation to Qatar on Sunday to hold close negotiations with Hamas on the latest proposals on a ceasefire in Gaza and hostage release agreement.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said he accepted the invitation despite his opinion that Hamas wanted to make “unacceptable” changes to the plans proposed by mediators from Qatar, the United States and Egypt.

Hamas said Friday night that it had made a “positive response” to the proposal for a 60-day ceasefire and was ready for negotiations.

However, a Palestinian official said the group had sought amendments, including assurances that hostilities would not resume if talks about a permanent truce failed.

In Gaza itself, the civil defense agency run by Hamas said Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least 35 Palestinians on Saturday.

Tents in the Al-Mawasi area were bombed at the time, including doctors and his three children, including one doctors and his three children, according to a hospital in the nearby city of Khan Younis.

Meanwhile, two U.S. employees of a controversial aid allocation organization supported by Israel and the United States – Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) – The injured one said it was a grenade attack Location in the Khan Yunis region.

Both Israel and the U.S. governments have accused Hamas of this, and this has not been commented on.

The Israeli Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement late Saturday that the changes to the ceasefire proposal were “unacceptable to Israel.”

But it added: “In view of the assessment of the situation, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu directed to accept the invitation to approach the conversation and based on the proposed contacts of the Qataris in Israel to return to the hostages, Israel has agreed-to continue.

Earlier, an Israeli official briefed local media about Hamas’ response “what can be used”.

Mediators may cut off their work to bridge the remaining gap in Doha’s indirect negotiations.

Watch them closely and will be President Trump, who has been talking about the opportunity to reach a deal in recent days.

On Friday, before briefing his response to Hamas, he said the organization was positive and that “there may be a Gaza deal next week” was “good”.

Trump will meet Netanyahu on Monday and it is clear that he is very eager to announce a major breakthrough.

Israeli hostages and Palestinian families in Gaza will also hold their breath again.

Relatives of the hostages and thousands of supporters attended a rally in Tel Aviv on Saturday night, demanding a comprehensive agreement that would bring all hostages back.

Among those who speak, there is Yechiel Yehoud. His daughter, Arbel Yehoud, was imprisoned during the last ceasefire and Trump helped him as a broker before taking office, collapsed when Israel resumed its offense in March.

He said: “President Trump, thank you for bringing our Arbel back to us. We will thank you for your whole life. Please don’t stop, please make a ‘big beautiful hostage deal’.”

The U.S. president said on Tuesday that Israel accepted the “necessary conditions” of a 60-day ceasefire, during which the parties will work to end the war.

The plan is believed to include Israeli hostages staggered by Hamas and 18 other hostages in exchange for prisoners held in Israeli prisons.

Fifty hostages are still held in Gaza, and at least 20 are considered alive.

The proposal also reportedly said that with the participation of the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross, a sufficient amount of aid will enter Gaza immediately.

A senior Palestinian official familiar with the negotiations told the BBC on Friday that Hamas asked the United Nations and its partners to allocate only aid, and GHF’s ​​operations ended immediately.

Another amendment Hamas demanded was about the withdrawal of Israeli forces, officials said.

The U.S. proposal is believed to include a phased Israeli pullout in parts of Gaza. But the official said Hamas hoped the troops would return to their posts before the collapse of the last ceasefire in March, when Israel resumed its offensive.

Hamas also wants the U.S. to ensure that Israel’s air and ground operations will not resume, even if the ceasefire ends without a permanent truce, the official said.

The proposal is believed to say that mediators will guarantee serious negotiations will be conducted from day one and that the ceasefire can be expanded if necessary.

The Israeli Prime Minister ruled out the end of the war until all hostages were released and Hamas’ military and management capabilities were destroyed.

The far-right members of his cabinet also expressed opposition to the proposed deal.

National Security Minister Itama Ben-Gvir said on Saturday that the only way to ensure hostages return is to “full efforts to conquer the Gaza Strip, completely halting so-called “humanitarian” aid and encouraging immigration” to the Palestinian population.

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the October 7, 2023 attack, in which about 1,200 people were killed and another 251 were taken hostage.

At least 57,338 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health in the region.
