Israel to send a ceasefire negotiations delegation to Doha, while a Hamas is currently in Cairo as the ceasefire in Gaza remains uncertain.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Israel will send a delegation to Qatar's capital Doha on Monday in an "effort to advance negotiations" on the fragile ceasefire in Gaza.

"Israel accepts the invitation from US-backed mediators, will send a delegation to Doha on Monday in an effort to advance negotiations," a statement from Netanyahu's office said Saturday.

Hamas, who met with mediators in Cairo on Saturday, said that there were "positive" signs regarding the start of negotiations for the second phase of the fragile Gaza ceasefire.

"The efforts of the Egyptian and Qatari mediators are ongoing to complete the implementation of the ceasefire agreement," Hamas spokesperson Abdel Latif Al-Qanoua said in a statement.

"The indicators are positive regarding the start of negotiations for the second phase," he added, without providing further details.
