A new round of negotiations aimed at brokering a ceasefire in the war in Gaza and preventing the fighting from escalating into a region-wide conflict has begun, as the death toll in the Palestinian territory reached a grim milestone of 40,000 people, according to local health authorities.

Mediators from the US, Qatar and Egypt met an Israeli delegation in the Qatari capital of Doha on Thursday afternoon, with talks expected to continue into the next day. Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, is not directly participating in the talks, meaning expectations of a breakthrough are low.

While Hamas and Israel agreed in principle last month to implement a three-phase plan publicly proposed by Joe Biden in May, both sides have since requested “amendments” and “clarifications”, leaving talks at an impasse. Gaps include the continuing presence of Israeli troops on the Gaza-Egypt border, the sequencing of a hostage release, and the return of civilians from southern to northern Gaza.

Assassinates negotiators.

Whines when no negotiators.

Pretends to be victim.

How the hell do you negotiate a ceasefire without one of the two parties shooting at each other negotiating?

That figure of 40,000 will be only a fraction of the true death toll so far, given that many bodies will lie under rubble and many others will die from medical conditions worsened by the circumstances.

Away with Hamas.

Israel doesn't have to negotiate with anyone.

Israel needs to end this mass murder, and can easily do so unilaterally.
