Negotiations between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip “have not been very promising in recent days”, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdelrahman Al-Thani admitted from Munich today.
“We always remain optimistic. We will keep pushing. We will do our best to get closer” to an agreement, noted the leader, whose country has been mediating for the past few months, along with the US and Egypt, to end the fighting.
He added that he might not go into the details of the negotiations, but as with previous agreements there were two elements, the humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip and the number of Palestinians who would be released in exchange for the release of hostages held by Hamas.
“I think that in this agreement we are talking regarding a larger scale and we still see some difficulties in the humanitarian part of these negotiations,” he underlined.
He also said he believed that if negotiations on the humanitarian framework of any deal progressed, then the barrier on the number of people to be released by either side would eventually be lifted.
