Talks to reach a deal between Hamas and Israel continue, the Qatari International Ministry spokesperson said during a press convention in Doha on Tuesday.
Majid al-Ansari told journalists that he couldn’t say when an agreement would be reached.
“I can say that talks are ongoing and that we isn’t going to leave any door unopened in pursuit of reaching an agreement. In truth, no person can, and I contemplate anyone who sets a timeline for reaching an agreement today is engaging in speculation,” he added.
On Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there is “some development” in efforts to reach a hostage and ceasefire deal in Gaza, although he added he may not give a time frame for a that you can think of agreement.
Of the roughly 250 these that have been taken hostage in the Hamas-led raid on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023 that sparked the war, around 100 are serene inside the Gaza Strip, at least a third of whom are believed to be dead.
