First Round of Israel-Hamas Truce Talks End without Progress

DOHA, QATAR, JUL 7 – Indirect negotiations aimed at ceasefire and hostage release ended without progress due to limited Israeli delegation powers, despite positive responses to mediator proposals, Palestinian sources said.

  • The initial session of indirect negotiations concerning a ceasefire and hostage release between Israel and Hamas took place in Doha on July 6, 2025, but concluded without reaching any agreement.
  • The talks followed Hamas's demand for a full Israel Defense Force withdrawal from Gaza and occurred just before Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's third US trip.
  • Netanyahu stated that Israeli negotiators were tasked with securing a ceasefire agreement based on terms accepted by Israel, while also working to free approximately 50 hostages still held captive.
  • Dana Stroul criticized Netanyahu for restricting his options by declaring the goal of the IDF in Gaza as complete military victory, while failing to outline realistic political objectives for the opposing party.
  • Renewed talks and Netanyahu’s US visit aim to advance a truce, but antithetical objectives and limited Israeli negotiating mandates make durable progress uncertain.
