Peace talks are ongoing in the Gaza Strip

A new diplomatic challenge is emerging in the Middle East. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

Negotiations to cease hostilities in the Gaza Strip are at the center of international attention. According to Germany's Deutsche Welle, HAMAS is demanding changes to the latest draft agreement.

However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected this demand as an unacceptable condition. A number of important demands and guarantees are being discussed during the negotiations.

Netanyahu announced that the next round of negotiations will take place in Qatar on July 6. The meeting will address the terms of peace and the issue of releasing Israelis held hostage by HAMAS.

Additionally, the Prime Minister will make an official visit to Washington on July 7 and will negotiate peace with U.S. President Donald Trump. HAMAS officials stated on July 4 that they are ready for peace negotiations in the Gaza Strip.

The group is demanding clear and official guarantees that military actions will not resume after the release of Israelis held hostage by Israel. This issue is considered one of the biggest problems in the negotiations.

U.S. President Donald Trump assessed the process positively, emphasizing the possibility of approaching an agreement. The White House is viewing the negotiations with optimism, but the situation remains uncertain and rapidly changing.

The AFP agency, citing sources from the Palestinian delegation, reported that a new 60-day peace plan is being discussed in the negotiations. According to this plan, HAMAS will release half of the Israelis it is holding hostage, that is, 22 people.

Israel is expected to release several Palestinian prisoners. The proposal has been shaped with the participation of international mediators and could expedite the agreement process.

These negotiations in the Middle East are of great importance from the perspective of regional stability, humanitarianism, and security. However, the agreement has not yet been formalized, and the level of trust between the parties is low.

Events in the coming days are being closely monitored by the global community.
