An Israeli delegation is set to travel to Doha on Wednesday to continue negotiations for a ceasefire and hostage release deal, following inconclusive talks in Cairo. The team includes officials from the IDF, Mossad, and Shin Bet, and aims to work with U.S., Qatari, and Egyptian mediators to bridge gaps between Israel and Hamas. Despite ongoing efforts, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's refusal to meet Hamas's demands has hindered progress, with the chances of a deal reportedly low. Key sticking points include Israel's insistence on maintaining control of the Philadelphi Corridor, while Hamas demands an end to the conflict and a full withdrawal of IDF troops. Over 100 hostages remain captive, and the situation is exacerbated by the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which has seen significant casualties and shortages. Mediation efforts have been complicated by the recent escalation of violence following the October 7 Hamas attack on southern Israel.
