Qatar says ‘too early’ for any Israel-Hamas prisoner talks
Qatar says it is too soon to start brokering talks on a potential prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas.
Qatari foreign ministry spokesman Majed bin Mohammed Al-Ansari says it is “too early” for mediation when asked about the prospects for a potential prisoner exchange.
“At this moment, it is a very difficult point to say that any party can start with mediation. I think we need to see developments on the ground,” he tells reporters.
