Efforts on to free veterans in Qatar, says Navy chief
Monday, 30 October 2023 The Indian government is making all efforts to secure the release of eight naval veterans who have been incarcerated and sentenced to death in Qatar. Chief of Naval Staff Admiral R. Hari Kumar stated that every effort is being made to find relief for the personnel through legal means. The veterans were arrested without warning or specific charges while working for a Qatar firm to train their naval personnel for a submarine project. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar assured the families of the veterans that the government is giving the case the highest importance.
Hamas announced on Friday its intention to send a delegation to Cairo to discuss a potential hostages-for-truce agreement with Israel. This development coincided with the arrival of US CIA Director William Burns in the Egyptian capital, as reported by Egyptian sources. Egypt, along with Qatar and the United States, has been actively mediating between Israel and Hamas, aiming to broker a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict, which escalated following Hamas's devastating attack on October 7. According to an Egyptian security source, Hamas and CIA representatives are scheduled to meet Egyptian mediators on Saturday. However, it remains unclear whether these meetings will be held separately or together. Hamas expressed its delegation's positive outlook towards the discussions after reviewing the latest truce proposal, affirming its determination to secure an agreement that meets Palestinian demands. While the United States has acknowledged some progress in the negotiations, the CIA declined to comment, adhering to its policy of not disclosing the director's travel details.

Israel has issued Hamas a one-week ultimatum to accept a proposed deal brokered by the US, Egypt, and Qatar. This agreement entails the release of several hostages in exchange for a six-week cessation of hostilities. The ultimatum was reportedly communicated through Egyptian officials, suggesting Hamas has until the following week to respond. This development follows Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statement indicating Israel's intent to proceed with an operation in Rafah regardless of the deal's outcome.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Hamas on Monday to promptly accept Israel's recent and notably generous proposal for a Gaza ceasefire to facilitate the release of hostages. This call comes amidst ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Hamas negotiators were anticipated to convene with Qatari and Egyptian mediators in Cairo on Monday to provide a response to Israel's phased truce proposal, which was presented over the weekend. This comes ahead of potential Israeli action targeting the southern border city of Rafah.
