CNA938 Rewind - Israel, Hamas signal readiness for next ceasefire talks as mediators push for progress

Israel and Hamas signalled on March 8 they were preparing for the next phase of ceasefire negotiations, as mediators pushed ahead with talks to extend the fragile 42-day truce that began in January. Hamas said there were “positive indicators” for the start of the ceasefire’s second-phase talks but did not elaborate. Israel said it would send a delegation to Qatar’s Doha on March 10 to advance negotiations after accepting an invitation from mediators.
