JERUSALEM — A "final round" of Gaza ceasefire talks started in Qatar on Tuesday, said a source briefed on the negotiations aimed at ending the Israel-Hamas war after more than 15 months.
Meditators Qatar, Egypt and the United States have intensified efforts to seal a ceasefire that would facilitate the release of hostages held in the Gaza Strip since Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on southern Israel that sparked the war.
