United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani discussed in Abu Dhabi proposals for a Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal that were laid out on Friday by US President Joe Biden, the UAE state news agency (WAM) reports.

The two leaders expressed support for all “serious initiatives and efforts” toward a lasting peace in the region, it says.

Biden announced what he described as an Israeli proposal for a hostage release and truce deal. A senior adviser to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed that while there is still work that needs to be done on the deal, Israel has agreed to the framework.
