Qatar's prime minister has called on Israel and Hamas to begin negotiating phase two of the Gaza ceasefire immediately, as stipulated in the agreement. However, there is no clear plan for when talks will start. The second phase of the ceasefire is expected to include Hamas releasing all remaining hostages, a permanent end to hostilities, and the complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. Mediators have set an agenda for the next phase of negotiations, but there is no information yet on the timing or location of the talks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will begin negotiations on phase two on Monday in Washington, where he will meet with US President Donald Trump's Middle East Envoy.
