Negotiations between Israel and the Islamic organization Hamas over the cessation of fighting and the release of hostages are expected to be held in Paris, France, with Israel and related countries, followed by additional talks in Qatar.
It is reported that an Israeli delegation will also visit Qatar from the 26th.
Israel has indicated that it will carry out ground operations in the southern city of Rafah, which is home to nearly 1.5 million people, including refugees, as it is the last stronghold of Hamas.
Preparations for ground operations are underway, with the Israeli military announcing on the 26th that it had presented a plan to evacuate residents of Rafah to the War Cabinet.
Meanwhile, negotiations regarding a cessation of fighting between Israel and Hamas and the release of hostages have been held since the 23rd in Paris, France, between Israel, the United States, and mediating countries such as Qatar.
During the talks, Israel reportedly agreed to a six-week hiatus on the condition that some hostages be released.
Further talks are expected to take place in Qatar.
Haaretz, an influential Israeli media outlet, reported that Israel's war cabinet decided to send a delegation to Qatar on the 26th.
It is expected that they will discuss details such as which hostages will be released and which Palestinians will be released, but there is a wide gap between Hamas and Israel's claims regarding a complete ceasefire.
Prime Minister Netanyahu also emphasized in an interview with the American CBS television broadcast on the 25th that even if an agreement is reached in negotiations, he will continue with ground operations to destroy Hamas. The focus is on what.
