US -led ceasefire efforts in Gaza appeared to gain momentum after nearly 21 months of war, as prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu ’s office said Israel on Sunday will send a negotiating team to talks in Qatar. The statement also asserted that Hamas was seeking “unacceptable” changes to the proposal.

US President Donald Trump said Israel has agreed to a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza and that the plan will now be presented to Hamas.

The U.S. President said Israel “agreed to the necessary conditions to finalize” a 60-day ceasefire, “during which time we will work with all parties to end the war.”
