Indirect negotiations continue in Doha, with mediators seeking to address hostages and escalating violence in Gaza.

Hamas has approved a ceasefire proposal mediated by Egypt and Qatar, emphasizing its arsenal as a non-negotiable 'red line.'
Israel has submitted a counter-proposal in coordination with the U.S., signaling ongoing deliberations over the terms of a potential truce.
Indirect talks are underway in Doha, focusing on restoring calm and negotiating the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
