Israeli negotiators have expressed “cautious optimism” about moving towards an agreement on a Gaza ceasefire after talks in Doha, Netanyahu’s office said according to Al Jazeera.

“The team expressed cautious optimism to the prime minister regarding the possibility of advancing towards a deal based on the latest American proposal,” a statement said.

“There is hope that the heavy pressure on Hamas from the United States and mediators will lead to the removal of their opposition to the American proposal, potentially allowing a breakthrough in the negotiations.”
