An Israeli delegation will travel to Doha for talks on Monday, after Hamas confirmed it was negotiating with the US about the release of an American-Israeli hostage.

U.S. negotiators are pursuing direct talks with Hamas in hopes of first releasing the last American held hostage in Gaza.

Arab leaders on Tuesday endorsed Egypt’s postwar plan for the Gaza Strip that would allow its roughly 2 million Palestinians to remain, in a counterproposal to US President Donald Trump’s plan to depopulate the territory and redevelop it as a beach destination.

The meeting next week, according to reports, will mark the first high-level discussions between the two nations since the Oval Office dispute.

Several Palestinian prisoners and detainees freed during this ceasefire deal have been harassed by Israeli forces after their release, their homes raided or their family members arrested.

Even from the island prison where he has spent the past 26 years, Abdullah Ocalan still wields power over the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), the rebel group he founded to fight for a Kurdish homeland.
