Negotiations for a Gaza ceasefire have made significant progress, with a final draft agreement reportedly submitted to both Hamas and the ‘Israeli’ government for approval, according to a senior official involved in the talks.

The breakthrough came in Doha after midnight following intensive discussions between ‘Israeli’ intelligence leaders, US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Reuters reported. The Qatari Prime Minister also held talks with Hamas leaders to push for a resolution.
