Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani says in a press conference that the main point of dispute in negotiations on a hostage deal and extended truce is over the return of displaced people to parts of the Palestinian territory.
Israel has objected to allowing an unchecked return of Palestinians to northern Gaza amid fears that this would lead to a resurgence of Hamas in areas already cleared by the IDF.
