Israel will send a delegation to Qatar on Sunday for talks on a possible Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal, although Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said the changes requested by Hamas to a ceasefire proposal were unacceptable.

Israel and Hamas are moving toward a cease-fire agreement following a shift in the balance of power after Israel’s 12-day war with Iran.

The deal comes more than 20 months into the conflict -- and more than three months after a previous deal ended.
