Negotiations aimed at cessation of fighting between Israel and Hamas are expected to resume on the 18th in Qatar in the Middle East. However, the gap between Hamas, which calls for a ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and Israel, which does not approve of it, has not been bridged.
Meanwhile, the Israeli military announced that it was conducting a military operation at Shifa Hospital, the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip, which it had once taken control of. It is unclear whether negotiations will progress.
