DOHA (Reuters) -The Gaza ceasefire negotiations in Doha in recent weeks have not led anywhere because of "fundamental differences between parties", Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said on Tuesday at an economic forum held in Doha.

The recent Gaza ceasefire talks in Qatar have not led anywhere yet, the Qatari prime minister said Tuesday, citing a "fundamental gap" between the two parties.

The US has been talking with Hamas through an American intermediary in Doha this week in hopes of brokering an Israel-Gaza ceasefire agreement, according to a source familiar with the matter, as US officials say President Donald Trump is growing increasingly frustrated with Israel’s handling of the conflict.

President Trump is visiting Qatar and the U.A.E. after inking big weapons and tech deals in Saudi Arabia. So far, his trip hasn't seemed to push forward chances for a ceasefire in Gaza.

A new round of Gaza ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel is underway in Qatar's Doha, Hamas official Taher al-Nono told Reuters on Saturday. He said the two sides were discussing all issues without "pre-conditions".

Former Israeli hostages and hostage family members rushed to Doha in a recent bid to capitalize on the president’s Middle East trip to push for the release of their relatives.

Israel launched a new devastating ground offensive in Gaza over the weekend just as US President Donald Trump departed the region without sealing a ceasefire and hostage deal.

Qatar’s prime minister today said Israel’s military offensive in Gaza had undermined peace efforts after the release of US-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander

Israel says it has begun sending troops into Gaza as part of a larger ground operation aimed at pushing Hamas to demilitarize and release the remaining hostages it holds.
