Qatar says it hopes to push Hamas, Israel to next phase of ceasefire ‘very soon’

Gaza talks mediator Qatar says it hopes Israel and Hamas can be brought to a new phase of negotiations for a peace deal in Gaza following their agreement on a ceasefire in October.

“We think that we should be pushing the parties to stage two very, very soon,” Qatar foreign ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari says, adding that the talks will include issues such as Hamas fighters still in tunnels in Israeli-controlled areas of the Gaza Strip.
