"Hamas negotiators are increasingly sceptical that a Gaza ceasefire agreement with Israel could be reached in the current round of talks in Doha, Middle East Eye has learned.

Sources close to Palestinian negotiators said talks remain deadlocked over at least two of four key issues.

The first is the extent of the proposed Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip during the 60-day truce. The second is the method of aid distribution."

Israel clearly isn’t interested in stopping killing people.

I get why Hamas is still in the talks, they don’t really have a choice, but the whole thing is pointless. The “cease fire” is Western pressure so severe that Israel is forced to stop by threat of consequences. Everything else is a waste of time and a foolish hope.
