Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari says Qatar has not yet received a response from Israel to the latest ceasefire and hostage deal proposal.

He says that the offer on the table “matches 90% of what Israel wants.”

“The ball is now in Israel’s court, and it seems that it does not want to reach an agreement,” Ansari adds.

His remarks, quoted in Arab media, are delivered during a Qatari Foreign Ministry press briefing.
