Hamas and Israel Resume Indirect Talks in Doha Without Preconditions

A senior Hamas official confirmed that a new round of indirect negotiations with Israel began on Saturday in Doha, Qatar, with both parties entering the discussions without setting any preconditions.

Taher al-Nunu, a senior advisor to Hamas leadership, stated that the group is prepared to engage in comprehensive dialogue. “This round of negotiations began without any preconditions from either side, and the negotiations are open to discussing all issues,” he said.

Al-Nunu emphasized that Hamas will focus its proposals on three core issues: a complete ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and a prisoner exchange agreement.

The resumption of talks comes amid ongoing international pressure to end the months-long conflict in Gaza, which has resulted in significant humanitarian concerns and global calls for de-escalation.

Negotiators from Qatar, Egypt, and the United States are reportedly mediating the discussions, though no breakthrough has been announced yet.
