Hamas sources described the indirect negotiations taking place in Doha as "more serious." This was reported by the newspaper "Asharq Al-Awsat." According to the report, the sources said that previous attempts "were characterized by a lack of seriousness on the part of Israel and the U.S." and added that "although it is difficult to predict the results, we can be optimistic about the possibility of successful negotiations, especially in light of American pressure aimed at reaching an agreement."
