Israel will send a delegation to Qatar for negotiations on the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, following talks with Trump administration officials. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to discuss the ceasefire and plans for the second stage with US President Donald Trump. The first stage of the ceasefire deal, which has been in place for three weeks, involves the release of 33 hostages in exchange for Palestinian inmates. The second phase aims to secure the release of the remaining hostages and end the war. Netanyahu is facing pressure from right-wing allies to abandon the deal and resume the war against Hamas.
