Qatar "delivered the final draft of ceasefire negotiations to Israel and Hamas"

A week before the inauguration of U.S. President-elect Trump, a cease-fire agreement in the Middle East's Gaza war is likely to be reached.

Reuters reported that Qatar, which mediates ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Palestinian militant Hamas, delivered a final offer to both sides on the 13th local time.

In particular, the progress was made at a meeting involving David Barnia, director of Mossad, Israel's foreign intelligence agency, Steve Witkov, Trump's special envoy for Middle East peace, and Prime Minister Altani of Qatar.

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar also held a press conference in Jerusalem and noted that "we are seeing some progress in the negotiations."

Earlier, U.S. Vice President-elect Vance told Fox News that he believes a deal to release hostages held by Hamas in Gaza will be reached before the launch of the second Trump administration on the 20th.
