Intense Diplomatic Efforts Underway for Gaza Ceasefire
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is engaged in a series of meetings with Qatari Prime Minister, including discussions in Spain, to formulate a comprehensive deal aimed at ending the ongoing war in Gaza. Amidst claims from Arab media of mediators rushing to secure an agreement, U.S. and Israeli officials are contemplating an ‘all or nothing’ approach to negotiations. While Hamas expresses readiness to release all Israeli hostages as part of a broader agreement, tensions rise as Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu pursues a military resolution. Concurrently, Egypt and Qatar are working on proposals that may include terms for a ceasefire in exchange for hostages. The situation remains critical as both sides explore options that could halt the conflict.
