Israel is considering sending negotiators to Doha this week to discuss a comprehensive agreement with Hamas that would secure the release of all hostages and end the ongoing war in Gaza. The renewed diplomatic efforts, supported by the United States and several Arab states, come after previous negotiations for a temporary ceasefire collapsed last month, prompting Israel to approve a new military plan for Gaza City. Despite significant gaps between the sides, recent talks in Cairo and ongoing mediation suggest there is still hope for a deal that would include a full withdrawal of Israeli forces and arrangements for Gaza's post-war governance. Public pressure in Israel for a hostage release deal remains high, with protests calling for immediate action, while mediators work to bridge differences and push for a comprehensive ceasefire proposal.
