Hamas drops key demand in truce talks

According to recent reports, Hamas is willing to reconsider its stance on requiring Israel to commit to a permanent ceasefire before signing an agreement for a temporary truce. This development comes as part of intensified efforts towards reaching a deal. However, it's worth noting that the group has long demanded a permanent ceasefire, which Israel finds unacceptable. Osama Hamdan stated that there are no new concrete proposals in a document sent to Israel this week, but some ideas were proposed to overcome Israeli reticence about a cease-fire. Additionally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to send the head of the Mossad intelligence service to Doha.
