Israel is due to send a delegation to Qatar for a fresh round of talks on extending a fragile ceasefire in Gaza, after cutting off the electricity supply to ramp up pressure on Hamas, AFP reports.

Media reports said a top official from the domestic security agency Shin Bet will lead Israel’s delegation.

Israel has halted aid deliveries to Gaza amid the deadlock, and on Sunday announced it was cutting off the territory’s electricity supply.

“We will use all the tools at our disposal to bring back the hostages and ensure that Hamas is no longer in Gaza the day after” the war, Energy Minister Eli Cohen said as he ordered the power cut.
