Chinanews.com, August 15 (Reuters) - A new round of ceasefire talks in Gaza will be held in Qatar on August 15 local time. The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said on the 14th that it would be absent from the ceasefire talks.

On December 27, 2023 local time, thick smoke billowed near the southern border between Israel and Gaza.

The United States reportedly said it expected indirect talks in Doha, the capital of Qatar, to go ahead as planned and a ceasefire agreement was still possible, while warning that progress was urgently needed to avoid a wider conflict.

Senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters that if Hamas participates in a new round of negotiations, Israel will impose new ceasefire conditions and use the negotiations to launch more military operations in the Gaza Strip.

He also said that Hamas supports the unanimous agreement reached on July 2, which is based on relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the previous claims of the United States. Hamas is ready to immediately start negotiations on promoting the implementation of this ceasefire agreement.

The report quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that Hamas hopes the mediator can communicate with it with Israel's "serious response"; if this can be achieved, Hamas will hold talks with the mediator after the 15th.

An Israeli government spokesman said recently that Israel will send a negotiation team on the agreed date to finalize the details of implementing the framework agreement.

According to previous reports, Qatar, Egypt and the United States issued a joint statement on the 8th, calling on Israel and Hamas to resume negotiations on August 15 "to bridge all remaining differences and immediately begin to implement the agreement."
