A representative of the Palestinian militant group Hamas on Friday expressed reservations about the outcome of the latest round of peace talks in the Gaza war, after the negotiations concluded in Qatar.

The Hamas leadership has received updates on the two-day negotiations in Doha, senior official Mahmoud Mardawi told dpa, arguing that the proposals differ from those made by US President Joe Biden earlier this summer.

The Islamist movement, which did not attend the talks directly, previously said it would not accept any deviations from Biden’s peace plan.

Hamas believes the negotiations should focus on ending the war, the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the coastal territory, the return of displaced people to their homes, reconstruction and the end of the Israeli blockade.

There has been no official statement from Israel on the latest round of talks.

A further round of negotiations is planned in Cairo next week, according to mediators Egypt, Qatar and the United States.
