Prime Minister Netanyahu has approved the departure of an Israeli delegation to Qatar to move forward with ceasefire negotiations regarding Gaza.

According to the Prime Minister’s Office:

“The amendments Hamas proposed to the Qatari framework, received last night, are unacceptable to Israel. After a situation assessment, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has directed the negotiation team to accept the invitation for proximity talks and continue efforts to secure the return of our hostages, based on the Qatari proposal—already accepted by Israel.”

The delegation is scheduled to depart for Qatar on Sunday.
