Qatar says Gaza truce, hostage release talks remain ‘close to stalemate’
Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari says the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release talks between Israel and Hamas remain “close to a stalemate.”
Asked about the International Criminal Court prosecutor’s decision to seek arrest warrants against some Israeli and Hamas leaders, Al-Ansari says it is too early for Qatar to comment directly on that but that all states and organizations should be “held responsible for the killing of civilians.”
