As Israeli negotiators head to Doha, PM assures coalition partners Israel won't end war

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : Hamas released Alexander in what has been characterized as a gesture of goodwill to Trump after the group received assurances from a third-party mediator that the step would go a long way with Washington, opening the door to the administration potentially coaxing Israel to end the war in Gaza.
39% : Trump characterized Hamas's decision to release Alexander as a "step taken in good faith towards the United States and the efforts of the mediators... to put an end to this very brutal war and return ALL living hostages and remains to their loved ones.
38% : Trump will also arrive in the region on Tuesday, starting in Saudi Arabia before continuing to Qatar and then the United Arab Emirates -- with the Gaza war likely to come up during his meetings with Gulf leaders, even if the issue is not expected to dominate a trip largely focusing on US economic interests in the region.
38% : GHF was supposed to announce its rollout last week, but has faced major setbacks after the UAE, the UN and other international bodies refused to cooperate or fund the initiative due to concerns that it doesn't adequately address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where aid has been banned by Israel since March 2.
37% : Israel has threatened to launch its major military operation in Gaza once Trump leaves the Mideast on Friday if Hamas doesn't agree to a hostage deal by then.
30% : While Trump initially called on Egypt and Jordan to take in Palestinians, both countries quickly pushed back against the idea, insisting that Palestinians should be allowed to remain on their land.
