DOHA, Qatar — Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesman says mediators are engaging with Israel and Hamas to build on momentum from this week’s ceasefire with Iran and work towards a truce-hostage release deal in the Gaza Strip.
“If we don’t utilise this window of opportunity and this momentum, it’s an opportunity lost amongst many in the near past. We don’t want to see that again,” Majed al-Ansari says in a Friday interview with AFP.’
