Israel will send a negotiating team to Doha in Qatar on Monday, as per a statement from the Prime Minister Banjamin Netanyahu's Office. The development comes after Hamas indicated it is willing to agree to a temporary extension of the Gaza ceasefire over Ramadan.

An Israeli official said that there is no particular progress in the talks that led to a decision and denied reports that Hamas agreed to a Ramadan ceasefire extension. Hamas says it sees "positive indicators" for the start of talks on a second phase of the truce and denies reports it has signalled an openness to a temporary ceasefire instead of an end to Israel's war.

Four European powers and the Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC) endorsed an Egypt-led proposal for Gaza's reconstruction that counters Trump's expulsion proposal. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continued their offensive in the occupied West Bank.Agencies
