Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has called on Israel and Hamas to begin immediate negotiations on the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire, as outlined in the existing agreement.
Speaking at a press conference in Doha , Prime Minister emphasized the urgency of advancing talks, though no clear timeline has been set.
Under the ceasefire agreement, discussions on phase two should begin before the 16th day of the truce, which falls on Monday. The next stage is expected to include the release of all remaining hostages held by Hamas, a permanent ceasefire, and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.
Mediators, including Qatar, have been engaging with both sides remotely and have outlined an agenda for the negotiations. Sheikh Mohammed stressed the importance of progress in the coming days to reach an agreement before day 42 of the truce.
Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will begin negotiations on phase two during his visit to Washington on Monday, where he is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff. Following their discussions, Witkoff will engage with Egyptian and Qatari officials, who have played key roles in ceasefire mediation efforts.
