U.S.-led ceasefire efforts in Gaza appeared to gain momentum Saturday after nearly 21 months of war as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Israel on Sunday will send a negotiating team to talks in Qatar.

At least 32 Palestinians were killed in Israeli airstrikes on Sunday, with 29 deaths reported in Gaza City alone, according to hospital sources. The bombardment came as Israel signaled a willingness to resume indirect ceasefire negotiations with Hamas in Doha under growing global pressure.
