Efforts to secure a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in the ongoing conflict are set to resume in Qatar, involving both Israeli and Hamas officials for the first time since Ramadan began. Hamas proposed a three-stage plan to end the fighting, including a temporary truce, prisoner exchanges, and the lifting of the Gaza blockade for reconstruction. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu labelled the proposal as “unrealistic” but agreed to further talks. Concerns persist over a potential Israeli military operation in Rafah, with warnings of disastrous consequences. The situation remains dire in Gaza, with significant casualties, displacement, and urgent humanitarian needs.
