The Saudi daily Asharq Al-Awsat reports that following the attempted assassination of senior Hamas officials in Qatar, there is consensus within Hamas’s leadership to complete the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza “in a way that serves Palestinian demands,” according to the report.

The demands, it says, are “a full end to the war and guarantees of the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Strip.”

The report adds that in the coming days, contact with the mediators will be reestablished once the security situation stabilizes, allowing negotiations to resume.
