Israel is expected to present a new withdrawal map during ceasefire negotiations in Qatar, after talks stalled over Tel Aviv's insistence on maintaining control of a large area along Gaza, media reports said.

Israel's Channel 12 said mediators are waiting for the new map to be submitted by Israel.

Hamas had agreed to a buffer zone with a width of 0.7 to 1 kilometres (0.43 to 0.62 miles), but Israel's last proposal reportedly sought to maintain occupation zones as wide as 3 kilometres (1.86 miles), which led to a stall in the talks.

While the red lines of Hamas and Israel reportedly do not align, the map is anticipated to attempt to bridge some of the gaps.

The Haaretz newspaper, citing an Arab diplomatic source, reported that mediator countries have not given up despite disagreements.

The source said they are attempting to balance Hamas, which rejected the previous Israeli map, with the Israeli government's hawkish wing, which has shown resistance to a more realistic compromise.
