Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Abdulrahman Al Thani will head to Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, Wednesday morning to join the ongoing indirect negotiations between Israel and Hamas on US President Donald Trump’s proposal for ending the war in Gaza.
Al Thani’s participation “comes at a critical stage of the talks, reaffirming the determination of the mediators to reach an agreement that would bring an end to the catastrophic war in the Gaza Strip,” Qatari foreign ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari says in a statement.
Separately, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu news agency reports that a Turkish delegation led by intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin will also join the negotiations tomorrow.
The agency, citing security sources, says that Kalin held talks with US, Egyptian, Qatari officials and representatives from Hamas ahead of the indirect talks.
