According to an announcement from the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, Prime Minister Netanyahu has approved the Israeli delegation's arrival in Doha on August 15th for negotiations.

Earlier, on August 14, US officials expressed hope that ceasefire talks in Gaza would proceed as planned, even though the Palestinian Hamas group would not participate in these negotiations.

Speaking at a regular press briefing, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre confirmed that CIA Director Bill Burns and US Special Envoy for the Middle East Brett McGurk will represent the US in the negotiations scheduled to take place today, August 15, in Doha, Qatar.

White House officials also assessed the resumption of ceasefire talks in Gaza as an important step, while emphasizing that Washington hopes these talks will lead to an agreement as expected.

Currently, the parties involved are pushing for negotiations to reach a ceasefire agreement, which includes the release of Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinians detained in Israel. However, disagreements over implementation procedures and other key issues continue to hinder this process.

The Hamas movement announced on August 14 that it would not participate in the ceasefire negotiations, but that mediators would consult with the group after the talks.
