The first session of indirect Hamas-Israel ceasefire talks in Qatar ended inconclusively, two Palestinian sources familiar with the matter said early on Monday, adding that the Israeli delegation didn't have a sufficient mandate to reach an agreement with Hamas.

The talks resumed on Sunday ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s scheduled visit to the United States to meet President Donald Trump.

The Israeli Prime Minister said he thinks his meeting with the US President on Monday should help progress efforts to reach a deal for the release of more hostages and a ceasefire in Gaza, the BBC reported.
