The Israeli negotiation team will return to Israel from Doha, Qatar, on Tuesday after a "significant week of conducting negotiations" regarding a ceasefire and hostage deal, the Israeli Prime Minister's office said in a statement.

Israel and Hamas on Wednesday accused each other of obstructing negotiations for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, after Israel withdrew its negotiators from the talks the previous day. Israeli media reported on Wednesday that the refusal by the Palestinian Islamist militia Hamas to hand over a list of the names of the hostages it still holds is hindering progress in the negotiations.
