According to the new Hamas proposal, the US is talking about a turning point at some point

(Keystone SDA) The US government is hopeful of tough negotiations for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip following a new proposal by Islamist Hamas. A US government official said a “breakthrough” had been reached at a point where talks had previously reached an impasse. “What we got back from Hamas is a significant adjustment in their position, and we find that encouraging.” He initially did not provide any specific information about the changes.

Hamas's response will be the basis for moving the process forward and concluding the agreement, he said. At the same time, the government representative cautioned that it does not mean a deal will be reached in a few days. “So there's still a lot of work to do,” he said. This indirect negotiation, which was mediated by the United States, Egypt and Qatar, was expected to be held in Doha, the capital of Qatar.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to send a negotiating team to further negotiate a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict. Recently, the talks reached an impasse due to differing views of Israel and Hamas on the goals of the talks. “We expect this deal to lead to a permanent ceasefire,” the US official said.
