Qatar's foreign ministry says it's cautiously optimistic about a new proposal in the Gaza ceasefire talks.
But there are conflicting reports emerging about how the talks are progressing for both Israel and Hamas in regional media.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said a date had been set for an Israeli offensive in Rafah.
Israel says it is reducing the numbers of soldiers in southern Gaza but stresses that a large force will remain in the north.
The pull-out is being interpreted as tactical, rather than a sign the war may be moving closer to its end.
