On Monday, Israel reluctantly sent a delegation to Qatar after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly delayed moving to the second phase of the agreement, which is intended to end the war and ensure Israel\u2019s full withdrawal from Gaza.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"820\" data-end=\"1111\">According to Yedioth Ahronoth, Israeli and American sources have expressed cautious optimism, noting slight progress in the negotiations. U.S. officials are pushing for the release of more Israeli captives from Gaza while insisting they do not want a return to war.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1113\" data-end=\"1384\">Israeli broadcaster Kan reported that the Doha talks are ongoing, with no major disagreements, although gaps remain between the parties. Whitkoff has urged both Hamas and Israel to reach a deal that ensures the release of more Israeli detainees.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13834\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13834\"

and constructive approach in the negotiations and expressed hope for progress toward initiating phase two of the ceasefire agreement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1673\" data-end=\"1808\">However, he condemned Israel for using the opening of border crossings and the entry of humanitarian aid as leverage, calling it:<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1812\" data-end=\"1864\">&#8220;A tool for political extortion and pressure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1866\" data-end=\"1979\">Hamas has urged mediators to pressure Netanyahu into honoring the commitments of the initial agreement.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1981\" data-end=\"2181\">Following the end of the first phase of the ceasefire, Israel closed all crossings into Gaza again, blocking humanitarian aid to use starvation as a tool to force Hamas into concessions.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2183\" data-end=\"2233\">Israeli Opposition and Security Concerns<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2235\" data-end=\"2428\">Hamas spokesman Abdul Latif Al-Qanoua accused Israel of reneging on the ceasefire agreement, contradicting the international consensus and efforts by mediators to end the war.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2430\" data-end=\"2575\">Hamas insists it has shown flexibility throughout the negotiations and is committed to ensuring Israel abides by the terms of the deal.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2577\" data-end=\"2811\">Meanwhile, U.S. envoy Adam Boehler reportedly met senior Hamas officials in Doha last week\u2014without Israel\u2019s knowledge\u2014to discuss a possible release of Israeli detainees, including five American citizens held in Gaza.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6846\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6846\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-6846 size-full\"

the War<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2891\" data-end=\"3079\">Israeli broadcaster Kan reports that Israel is now willing to discuss a phased release of detainees, rather than a single exchange, as it refuses to commit to ending the war.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3081\" data-end=\"3185\">According to the report, Israel\u2019s goal in Doha is to push for Whitkoff\u2019s proposal, which

the negotiations, stating:&#8221;The government is not doing everything possible to bring back the captives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3795\" data-end=\"3818\">Lapid further warned:&#8221;Ending the war comes with a political price that Netanyahu refuses to pay. Israel is losing twice: captives are not returning, while Hamas gets a free ceasefire.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3993\" data-end=\"4089\">Former War Cabinet member Gadi Eisenkot also criticized Netanyahu, telling Army Radio:&#8221;Netanyahu wants the captives back without paying any price.
