"Hamas negotiators are increasingly sceptical that a Gaza ceasefire agreement with Israel could be reached in the current round of talks in Doha, Middle East Eye has learned.

Sources close to Palestinian negotiators said talks remain deadlocked over at least two of four key issues.

The first is the extent of the proposed Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip during the 60-day truce. The second is the method of aid distribution."

It is an excuse for government to say *we are working on a ceasefire* instead of passing a UN resolutions where multiple nations can enforce the ceasefire until an agreement is reached.

Meanwhile, the are killing about 100 a day and many more get injured while they are waiting for food.

At this point these ceasefire negotiations feel more like hasbara than actual attempts to stop the killing.

How many times have we watched this movie? At this point these ceasefire negotiations feel more like hasbara than actual attempts to stop the killing.
