According to the senior Hamas official said that a fresh round of Gaza ceasefire talks began on Tuesday (Mar 11) in the Qatari capital Doha, with the Palestinian movement approaching the negotiations &#8220;positively and responsibly&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;A new round of ceasefire negotiations began today,&#8221; Abdul Rahman Shadid said in a statement. &#8220;Our movement is dealing with these negotiations positively and responsibly.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Israel has also sent a team of negotiators for talks aimed at extending the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, but has so far not commented on the talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We hope that the current round of negotiations leads to tangible progress toward beginning the second phase,&#8221; Shadid said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also expressed hope that US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff would help &#8220;initiate negotiations for the second phase of the ceasefire agreement&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The US administration bears responsibility due to its unwavering support for the occupying (Israeli) government.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first 42-day phase of the truce deal expired in early March without agreement on subsequent stages meant to secure a lasting end to the war, which erupted after Hamas&#8217;s Oct 7, 2023, attack on Israel.<br>There are differing views on how to proceed, with Hamas seeking immediate negotiations for the next phase, while Israel wants to extend the first phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamas has accused Israel of reneging on the ceasefire deal, stating in a statement on Monday that Israel &#8220;refuses to commence the second phase, exposing its intentions of evasion and stalling&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ahead of the current round of talks, Israel halted the supply of electricity to Gaza&#8217;s only desalination plant, a move Hamas condemned as &#8220;cheap and unacceptable blackmail.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gaza : &#8211;
