Gaza ceasefire talks to resume next week after no breakthrough in Doha
US, Qatar and Egypt issue optimistic statement that may also be aimed at stalling Iranian retaliation against Israel
The latest round of Gaza ceasefire talks have ended in Doha without a breakthrough, but a new date next week has been set for further negotiations to attempt to end the 10-month-old war.
A White House statement signed by the co-mediators Qatar and Egypt described a fresh proposal that built “on areas of agreement” and bridged remaining gaps in a manner that allowed for “a swift implementation of the deal”.
