Qatar conditions the resumption of its role as a mediator in Gaza ceasefire and hostage talks on a public Israeli apology for the recent strike targeting Hamas leaders in Doha, Channel 12 news reports.
Citing sources familiar with the issue, the network says that Qatar is willing to show some flexibility on the wording of the apology, noting the matter is politically sensitive for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The report adds that the matter was raised during US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s talks this week in Jerusalem and Doha, as well during US special envoy Steve Witkoff’s meeting in London with Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer.
