Egypt, Qatar, and the US have released a joint statement after two days of talks in Doha on the Gaza war. They’re backing what they call a "bridging proposal," which they hope will bring Hamas and Israel closer to a cease-fire deal.
Hamas refused to take part in the talks, accusing Israel of negotiating in bad faith. International negotiators are seeking to avert a regional conflict, end the ten-month-long war in Gaza, and secure the release of Israeli hostages taken in the October 7th terror attacks.
Negotiations are ongoing, with senior officials set to convene again in Cairo next week. Speaking to reporters in Washington, US President Joe Biden expressed optimism about the new deal.
