The Israeli Prime Minister's Office announced that the changes Hamas seeks to make to the Qatari ceasefire proposal are unacceptable to Israel. Despite this rejection, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the Israeli negotiation team to accept the invitation for proximity talks and continue negotiations for the return of hostages based on the original Qatari proposal that Israel agreed to. The negotiation team is scheduled to depart for talks in Qatar on Sunday. This decision follows a situation assessment and underscores Israel's willingness to engage in dialogue despite disagreements over the proposed amendments by Hamas.
