Israel to send negotiators to Gaza talks despite 'unacceptable' Hamas demands, Netanyahu says

Israel has agreed to send negotiators to Qatar for talks with Hamas regarding a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release, despite considering Hamas' demands as "unacceptable." Hamas provided a "positive response" to a 60-day ceasefire proposal but requested amendments. Israeli strikes and gunfire in Gaza resulted in the deaths of at least 35 Palestinians, while an aid distribution organization linked the injury of its American employees to a grenade attack, for which Israel and the U.S. blamed Hamas.
