Compared to the last round of truce talks in Cairo, to which Israel publicly said it would not send a delegation, this seems to be an improvement on their willingness to have a conversation. What we don’t yet know is who will be attending the talks on behalf of the Israeli delegation in Qatar, what their seniority is, and quite crucially, the extent of their mandate.

We’ve seen people being turned away at the checkpoint for this reason, and Israeli soldiers are surrounding the nearby area. There are additional restrictions on Palestinians leaving Al-Aqsa. […]
