About the ongoing negotiations in Doha with Israel…this is what a Hamas official revealed

A leader in the Hamas movement announced on Saturday that the positions are “very different in the ongoing truce negotiations through mediators in Doha,” accusing Israel of deliberately “obstructing and blowing them up.”

The official, who preferred to remain anonymous, told Agence France-Presse that Israel has rejected a ceasefire, the return of the displaced, and the entry of aid without restrictions.

The United States, Egypt, and Qatar are mediating negotiations between Israel and Hamas, with the aim of reaching a ceasefire and releasing hostages held in Gaza in exchange for the release of Palestinian detainees in Israel.

The war broke out in the Gaza Strip on October 7, as a result of an unprecedented attack launched by Hamas militants from the Gaza Strip on southern Israel, which killed at least 1,160 people, most of them civilians, according to official Israeli figures.

In response, Israel continues to launch a military operation that has so far resulted in the deaths of more than 32,000 people in Gaza, most of them civilians, according to the Hamas Ministry of Health.

The war has pushed 2.2 million people to the brink of famine and three-quarters of the population in the devastated Strip to be displaced, according to United Nations estimates. (free)
