Qatari PM said expected to attend hostage-ceasefire talks as Hamas delegation arrives in Cairo
Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani is expected to attend Gaza ceasefire talks in Cairo on Saturday, a source familiar with the negotiations tells Reuters.
A Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo earlier today to meet with negotiators, though it stressed it will not officially participate in the latest round of talks.
A high-level Israeli delegation was in Cairo this week and Doha last week to discuss the latest offer for a deal with US, Egyptian and Qatari negotiators.
