Egypt, Qatar, and the US have released a joint statement after two days of talks in Doha on the Gaza war. They are backing what they call a "bridging proposal." They hope the new draft will bring Hamas and Israel closer to a cease-fire deal.
Hamas — considered a terrorist organization by several countries, and not a participant in the negotiations — is accusing Israel of negotiating in bad faith. The talks are aimed at ending the 10-month-long war, securing the release of Israeli hostages, and averting a wider regional conflagration.
Negotiations are set to resume next week in Cairo. Speaking to reporters in Washington, US President Joe Biden expressed optimism about the new deal.
