A round of Gaza ceasefire talks will be held in Doha Tuesday morning to finalize remaining details related to the deal, an official briefed on the negotiations tells Reuters.
A deal to end the Gaza war is “closer than it’s ever been,” the official says, adding that US President-elect Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, outgoing Biden administration envoy Brett McGurk and Israel’s Mossad chief David Barnea and Shin Bet head Ronen Bar were expected to attend.
