US to lead ceasefire talks with Qatar on behalf of Israel

Israel has reportedly agreed to allow the US to lead ceasefire negotiations with Qatar and other mediators to secure a comprehensive deal to end the war. The matter was raised in talks between the Israeli and Qatari prime ministers, as well as with a US envoy. Reports suggest Israel and Hamas could return to negotiations soon, with Hamas leaders expected to move to Cairo and Doha. A senior Israeli official stated that Hamas is ready to show flexibility due to pressure from ongoing military operations in Gaza.
