Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to convene a limited security meeting at 9 p.m. to discuss the ceasefire and hostage release negotiations underway in Doha, reports Channel 12.

The meeting, to be attended by senior defense officials and several government ministers, will focus on a new proposal for IDF redeployment in Gaza, the main cause for the current impasse in the talks, according to the network.

Israel is reportedly planning to present updated maps in Doha today, outlining its planned military presence along the Morag Corridor and the perimeter of the Strip, after Qatar told Israel that Hamas rejected the previous offer.

While the presentation of new maps could be a breakthrough, even if they are approved significant gaps remain, such as the number and identity of Palestinian prisoners to be released, and which hostages will be freed from Gaza, adds Channel 12.
