Qatar is working to facilitate indirect talks between Israel and Hamas with the goal of a ceasefire and the release of hostages.

Efforts resume to renew talks for ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, with coordination from Qatar and new proposals expected in the coming days.

After twelve days of intense strikes between Israel and Iran – punctuated by the United States’ bombing of Iranian nuclear sites over the weekend and Tehran’s performative retaliation – a US-brokered ceasefire appeared to be holding on Tuesday.
