Negotiators seeking a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal will meet for a second day in Qatar.
Hamas representatives will not be in attendance and said the group would “not engage in negotiations for the sake of negotiations in order to provide cover for Israel to continue its war”.
The talks are still expected to take place even without Hamas, as US, Egyptian and Qatari mediators say they could use them to put together a plan that resolves the remaining issues.
They suffered several setbacks last month and have been suspended since Hamas’s political leader and chief negotiator, Ismail Haniyeh, was assassinated in Tehran.
The US hopes that finalising a deal could deter Iran from retaliating for the assassination against Israel – which has neither confirmed nor denied involvement – and avert a regional conflict.

the problem is hamas have said if isreal stopped bombing innicent peoplein in gaza they would give back all the hostages but natinyaho rather then use his brain instead of his braun feels that nothing will work but why doesent he give hamas a chance of talking peace instead of continuing bombing because this will never end.and what ever biden says goes to deaf ears .
This is not right calling an Israeli strike or Israeli killing of Palestinians but the USA. Because the USA provides weapons, money , machinery , all types of support , diplomacy. Israel is the only operator. So it is the laugh of the century that the US is asking for a ceasefire???
Israel is a racist and genocidal state. USA complicit by continuing to give weapons to the mass murderer.

Hamas have no negotiating position
Israel keeps moving the goalposts and will NOT stop the killing even during the talks ! Is the BBC blind?
Israel always lies
Stop the nonsense. Hamas has not bothered as they know Israel doesn’t want a ceasefire . They are rounding up Palestinians to ever decreasing areas. Easier to continue their genocide. The Israeli have never wanted to share the land of Palestine. Eastern Europeans Jews feel they have more right to it than Palestinians. Most are Jews that converted to Judaism decades ago and many are now atheists but they want Gods promised land. Colonialism.. I hope it’s a fair ceasefire but I am very very cautiously optimistic .
As much as i don't support Israel & Hamas, lets be real on who truly started this – During World War I, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration, expressing support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. The Arabs opposed the increasing Jewish immigration since it was their land, The United Nations proposed a partition plan to divide Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem under international administration. The Jewish community accepted the plan, while the Arab states and Palestinian leadership rejected it due to it being *their* land.
Don't put all the blame on Hamas, Hamas never started this war.. Israel did in which lead to The action being took on Oct 7th. G3nocide is disgusting, taking over someone's land by force especially the ones who let you in their land to protect you from "yk who" and then you turn around and try to wipe them out?

Netanyahu the war criminal must be behind bars
The 7th October would never have happened if the European zoinest had to stay in Britain where they came from 😳 Netanyahu was from Poland
Because of their beliefs, Muslims have Murderers Killers Of 14 Babies considered the Druze to be heretics and have persecuted them. This persecution has included massacres, the destruction of Druze holy places, and forced conversions to Islam. Druze have lived as outcasts under many Islamic empires, including the Fatimid Caliphate, the Mamluk Empire, and the Ottomans. 0:18
BRING THEM HOME, NOW !
Terrorist Netanyahu has killed all the hostages already. He needs to be arrested quick time for war crimes.
Hamas will refuse…. and rightfully so
Kindly stop the war
40000 dead wow … humanity is really dead
Cop out. Isreal. Has the right to defend itself against the terrorists
The British started the Palestine problem. The British also divided India and Pakistan.
After covid, anything you say I will believe the opposite.
Rape and torture, the killing of innocent civilians, condemned by the international community… As an American, I don't want my tax dollars going to support a immoral regime that ignores human rights and international laws. We Americans deserve politicians that won't give twenty billion dollars of our tax dollars to a foreign country while there's homeless veterans living on the streets.
Are the hostages included
US gave list of Haniyeh murder suspects to Iran.
The Gaza ceasefire talks have nothing to do with the Iranian issue against Israel this is a seperate issue now?
Iran wont abide by any of it.
Repent and Proclaim Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour.
This is trying to distract attention from the precarious situation US is in.
