CAIRO (Sputnik) - Israel has put forward "new conditions" related to the withdrawal of troops from the Gaza Strip, ceasefire and the exchange of prisoners, Palestinian movement Hamas said on Wednesday.
Serious negotiations on a ceasefire in Gaza and an exchange are taking place in Doha, with the mediation of Qatar and Egypt, the movement said in a statement.

"The movement demonstrated responsibility and flexibility, but the occupation [Israel] raised new questions and put forward new demands related to withdrawal, ceasefire, prisoner exchange and return of displaced persons, which delayed the agreement that was available," the statement read.
