Israel is expected to submit a new withdrawal map today during ongoing ceasefire negotiations in Doha, Qatar, as talks face challenges over the size of the buffer zone around Gaza.
Hamas has indicated willingness to accept a buffer zone of 0.7 to 1 kilometre, while Israel’s latest proposal includes up to 3 kilometres in some areas, leading to disagreement between the parties.
Mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and the US are working to help both sides reach a compromise. The US has communicated concerns regarding Israel’s proposal to the mediators.
In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an urgent meeting with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who are reportedly opposed to the deal. Some sources suggest Ben-Gvir may resign if a ceasefire agreement is reached.
Reports indicate Israel plans to maintain control over parts of Gaza, including the southern city of Rafah, where a humanitarian zone is proposed for relocation purposes.
Hamas has expressed readiness for a 60-day ceasefire and prisoner exchange, following mediation efforts by Qatar and Egypt. Negotiations continue to resolve remaining issues.
