DOHA: Qatar is set to host Gaza ceasefire talks on Thursday (Aug 14), seeking a so-far elusive agreement that the United States hopes would stop Iran from striking Israel and avert a wider war.
US, Qatari and Egyptian mediators have invited Israel and Hamas for negotiations aimed at ending fighting that the health ministry in the Hamas-run Gaza Strip says has killed nearly 40,000 people in the Palestinian territory.
The talks will be held in the Qatari capital Doha, a source close to Hamas and a second source close to the negotiations said Wednesday. According to a US source familiar with the Doha meeting, CIA director William Burns is scheduled to take part.
