Storyline: A new round of Gaza ceasefire talks in Doha, Qatar, made progress on certain issues on Thursday, with both Israel and Hamas demonstrating some flexibility during the negotiations, enabling the talks to advance slowly. A senior Israeli official said on Thursday that Israel and Hamas engaged in difficult and complex negotiations in Doha, suggesting that reaching a ceasefire agreement could take one to two weeks. If both sides agree to the proposed 60-day truce, negotiations for a permanent ceasefire could continue during this period, the official noted. On the same day, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said that reaching a ceasefire agreement reflects the will of the Israeli government and most of the people, aligning with national interests. During the talks, the two sides agreed that Hamas will release 10 Israeli hostages in two batches along with the bodies of 18 others, in exchange for Israel's release of some Palestinian prisoners. The exact number and names of these Palestinian prisoners will be determined in subsequent negotiations, including those who have been sentenced by Israel to life imprisonment or long-term sentences. The two sides also reached consensus on humanitarian aid issues. In addition to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation backed by the United States and Israel, international organizations including the United Nations have been permitted to resume humanitarian aid distribution in Gaza. Meanwhile, mediators such as the U.S. and Qatar are working to find solutions to Israel's persistent military presence in the "Morag Corridor," "Philadelphia Corridor," and Rafah in southern Gaza. Despite some progress in the talks, separate statements issued by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas on Thursday revealed that significant disagreements persist between the two sides. Netanyahu, currently visiting the U.S., said in a video address that Israel would be willing to negotiate a permanent ceasefire if a 60-day truce is reached, but only on the condition that Hamas disarms and Gaza is demilitarized. Hamas condemned Netanyahu's Wednesday statement that a comprehensive ceasefire agreement was "not possible" at this stage, accusing Israel of rejecting its proposed comprehensive agreement while being evasive and creating obstacles.
