On August 17, local time, Jihad Taha, spokesman for the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), said that regarding the new round of Gaza ceasefire negotiations, the transitional proposal put forward by the mediator that Hamas learned of was inconsistent with the Gaza ceasefire agreement plan agreed by the organization in early July.

Taha accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of not wanting to reach an agreement, but of using negotiations to delay time, create a false positive atmosphere, and continue to prolong military operations in the Gaza Strip.

Another senior Hamas official said that Israel added new conditions to the negotiations in an attempt to obstruct the conclusion of an agreement, and the latest transitional proposal put forward by the United States responded to these conditions put forward by Israel. The official called on the mediator to put pressure on Israel to force it to implement the previously agreed ceasefire agreement plan. He also stressed that any agreement must include a comprehensive ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, the provision of emergency relief supplies to the Gaza Strip, and the exchange of detained personnel.

A new round of ceasefire negotiations in Gaza was held in Doha on the 15th and 16th. Qatar, the United States and Egypt issued a joint statement on the 16th, saying that the United States, with the support of Egypt and Qatar, proposed a transitional proposal for a ceasefire agreement, aimed at bridging the remaining differences between the parties and enabling the rapid implementation of the ceasefire agreement.
