As the deadline to begin talks on extending Gaza’s ceasefire arrived, the Israeli prime minister found himself in Washington, leaving uncertainty about when negotiations with Hamas might commence. The ceasefire, in effect for over two weeks, is set to expire on March 1, with talks for the next phase supposed to start by Monday.
However, the Israeli government has not yet revealed a negotiating team for the talks or sent them to Qatar or Egypt, where Hamas is sending a delegation. Qatar’s prime minister mentioned the lack of clear details on the talks' start, expressing hope for progress in the coming days.
