Israel and the Palestinian Islamist movement "Hamas" said that truce talks in the Gaza Strip were resumed today in Qatar, Reuters and BTA reported.
"Hamas" representative Taher al-Nono said that the talks were taking place without preconditions. He stressed that the Palestinian movement was ready to make all necessary efforts to assist the mediators and contribute to the success of the talks. However, it is reported that there is no concrete proposal for a truce so far.
The talks are taking place against the backdrop of Israel's preparations to expand its military actions in the Gaza Strip, with the goal of achieving "operational control" in certain areas.
The information about the resumption of diplomatic dialogue was announced after the end of US President Donald Trump's tour of the Middle East, which ended on Friday without concrete progress on the issue of a ceasefire. However, he acknowledged the seriousness of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the need for urgent aid deliveries.
