Hamas declines to attend hostage deal talks in Qatar as Israel sends high-level delegation

2024-08-14 2,137

Israeli delegation set to participate in the peace talks without Hamas, while Israel’s Western allies press for a swift resolution to the conflict.

However, Hamas absence does not eliminate the chances of progress, as its chief negotiator, Khalil al-Hayya, is based in Doha, and the group maintains open channels with Egypt and Qatar.

Jonathan Regev reports from Tel Aviv.
