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 deal comes more than 20 months into the conflict -- and more than three months after a previous deal ended.

The first round of indirect ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel in Qatar ended without an agreement, with Israeli negotiators lacking full authority. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu hopes his upcoming meeting with President Trump will advance a ceasefire and hostage release.
