PROTESTERS HOLDING SIGNS HAIFA, ISRAEL - MAY 17: Hundreds of Israelis took to the streets of Haifa on Saturday, May 17, demanding the release of hostages held in Gaza and opposing the Netanyahu government amid expanded fighting in Gaza and ongoing negotiations in Qatar. Demonstrators held a march from Haifa’s Carmel neighborhood to the Horev Center, with the hostages’ relatives accompanied by a large number of supporters. A new round of negotiations in the Qatari capital, Doha, aiming to reach a ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement has started, coinciding with Israel's escalating aggression on the Gaza Strip, Israeli media reported Saturday. "Negotiations in Doha resumed an hour ago, with Qataris shuttling between the rooms of the Israeli and Hamas delegations," in an effort to bridge gaps, the daily Israel Hayom stated. The newspaper added that the US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff is following developments of the negotiations via telephone. Quoting an unnamed Israeli source, the Israeli Channel 12 added: "Hamas must realize that it needs to accept Witkoff’s proposal; otherwise, the ground operation will begin soon." Israel insists on the Witkoff plan, formulated two and a half months ago, which requires Hamas to release 10 living hostages and half of the deceased hostages as a precondition for negotiations and a 45-day ceasefire, without any commitment to ending the war, terms Hamas rejects. The channel also cited unnamed Israeli security sources, stating: "There is still a window to complete the deal." "So far, there has been no breakthrough in the talks,” KAN added. Later, Israel’s public broadcaster, citing unnamed informed sources, reported that the broad outlines of a potential deal under discussion in ongoing Doha negotiations between Israel and Palestinian factions in Gaza include the immediate release of 10 living Israeli hostages and a ceasefire lasting between six and eight weeks. The sources added that the proposed deal also requires Hamas to submit a list of the names of both living and deceased hostages within 10 days of the agreement’s implementation. The Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive on the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, 2023, killing more than 53,000 Palestinians so far, most of them women and children.
