On 2024-02-17, Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh accused Israel of stalling progress towards a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, as reported by the group's statements. Despite several days of negotiations, Hamas insists on a complete ceasefire and attributes the lack of advancement to Israel. The Prime Minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, a central figure in the ceasefire talks, expressed concerns about the recent lack of progress, stating that 'time is not in our favour' and describing the negotiations in the past few days as 'not really very promising.' Qatar has been mediating the talks and has previously attempted to influence Hamas towards releasing American and Israeli hostages, a point of contention in the negotiations. The Qatari PM, speaking in Munich, also mentioned that the release of hostages should not be a condition for a ceasefire, a stance that has drawn criticism, notably from U.S. Senator Ted Budd, who questioned Qatar's role as a productive partner in the negotiations, stating 'Enough.'
