The meeting between the Israeli negotiating team and the Qatari, Egyptian and American mediators that commenced earlier today in Doha is still ongoing and will continue tomorrow, says a statement from Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari.
A source familiar with today’s hostage talk summit in Doha tells The Times of Israel that the sides made progress today.
“The mediators are resolute in their commitment to move forward in their endeavors to reach a ceasefire in Gaza that would facilitate the release of hostages and enable the entry of the largest possible amount of humanitarian aid into Gaza,” says al-Ansari.
