Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office announced that it will send a delegation to Doha on Monday in an effort to advance ceasefire negotiations concerning Gaza, following an invitation from mediators.

Late Saturday, Netanyahu convened a meeting to assess the situation regarding negotiations for a prisoner exchange deal with Hamas.

A meeting of the security cabinet is also scheduled for Sunday.

According to reports, amid stagnation in the negotiation process, Israeli political leaders have instructed the military to prepare for a potential return to conflict.

However, a security source cautioned that such an escalation could jeopardize the lives of hostages.

In related developments, the Israeli families of hostages currently held in Gaza criticized Netanyahu, accusing him of obstructing efforts to retrieve their loved ones.

They claim he has deliberately frozen negotiations and disbanded the negotiating team, accusing him of prioritizing political interests over the safety of the hostages.

The families emphasized that the only viable solution for securing the release of their relatives is through a comprehensive exchange deal.

Ayanev Tsingauker, the mother of one of the Israeli hostages, stated that resuming hostilities would not serve the interests of Israel but rather benefit Netanyahu.

She urged the public to join them in demonstrations in Tel Aviv to prevent the government's return to conflict, thus protecting the hostages.

The families of the hostages, alongside various protest movements, are planning to organize demonstrations and a sit-in around the Ministry of Defense in Tel Aviv starting Saturday evening, aimed at pressuring the government to act in favor of securing the release of the detainees.

Simultaneously, reports have emerged regarding a new U.S. initiative proposing the release of ten living Israeli prisoners.

Sources indicate that Israel is not currently involved in negotiations regarding this new American proposal.

Netanyahu expressed gratitude to U.S. President Donald Trump for his support, acknowledging the U.S.'s ongoing backing in Israel's conflict with Hamas.

In contrast, Hamas has accused the Israeli government of committing war crimes by starving two million Palestinians in Gaza and denying them essential means of living for the past seven days.

A statement from Hamas underscored that the injustices faced by Palestinian prisoners also extend to the Israeli hostages, encouraging international accountability for what they term as the brutal siege and starvation policies enforced by Israel.

Hamas further stated that Netanyahu bears responsibility for the consequences of the siege and called for an end to these actions.
