      Israel delegation leaves Doha, with differences remaining in Gaza ceasefire talks

      The talks to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip were suspended in Qatar's Doha on Monday as the Israeli negotiating delegation returned to Israel afternoon following the two-day talks.

      Representatives from Qatar, Egypt, the United States, and Israel participated in the talks, while the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) did not send any representative to the meeting.

      According to reports from Israeli media, representatives from Qatar, Egypt, the United States, and Israel engaged in intensive talks on Monday. The parties made progress in developing a framework agreement for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the exchange of detainees, and they plan to continue discussions on the framework agreement later this week.

      On the same day, the Office of the Prime Minister of Israel stated that the Israeli delegation engaged in discussions with representatives from Qatar and the United States regarding a framework agreement for a ceasefire and the exchange of hostages. In the coming days, the mediators will hold talks with Hamas to assess the feasibility of continuing the negotiations and will make efforts to reach an agreement.

      A senior Hamas official stated on the same day that the organization will analyze the results of the Doha talks, and if the outcomes are positive, Hamas will provide a formal response. He emphasized that Hamas is open to any agreement that can end the conflict in Gaza and safeguard the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people. Additionally, he accused Israel of attempting to create obstacles in the negotiation process.

      Several rounds of ceasefire talks in the Gaza Strip over the past few months have failed to produce an agreement, as significant differences remain between Israel and Hamas on core issues.

      First, the control of the Philadelphi Corridor in southern Gaza and the Netzarim Corridor in central Gaza remains a contentious issue, with Israel insisting on maintaining its troop presence, which Hamas firmly opposed. The mediator has proposed alternatives, including the deployment of a multinational force in the Philadelphi Corridor for supervision, but these suggestions have not garnered agreement from both parties involved in the conflict.

      Second, regarding the issue of Israel's release of Palestinians detained in Israeli prisons, the two sides have differences concerning the number of individuals to be released and their post-release locations. Israel insists that once released, these individuals must be relocated to places outside of Gaza and the West Bank, a stipulation that Hamas has rejected.

      Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi delivered a video address at the high-level meeting of the 58th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Switzerland on Monday, emphasizing China's willingness to work with all countries to uphold the correct view of human rights and push for the reform and improvement of global human rights governance.

      In a speech titled "Pushing for the Reform and Improvement of Global Human Rights Governance to Uphold the Right Approach to Human Rights", Wang, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that 80 years ago, the United Nations was born amidst the hope of people around the world to beat swords into ploughshares, marking an important milestone in the cause of human progress.

      Eighty years on, global transformation unseen in a century is accelerating. Responding to this, Chinese President Xi Jinping has made a call for the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, and put forward the Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative and Global Civilization Initiative, proposing China’s solution for the world, said Wang.

      Wang said that China is willing to work with all countries to keep to the right approach to human rights and push for the reform and improvement of global human rights governance by staying committed to the original aspiration and founding mission, upholding fairness and justice, and adhering to engagement and mutual learning.

      Wang stressed that the modernization China is pursuing is not exclusive, but one of peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation and common prosperity for all countries. China is committed to the future and well-being of humanity and all nations. It will promote international cooperation and civilizational exchange and be a builder of a community with a shared future for humankind, while more actively engaging in international human rights cooperation to create a brighter future for human rights worldwide, Wang added.
