Qatari FM says Gaza truce negotiations making progress ‘to some extent’
Qatar’s foreign minister has said that some progress has been made in negotiations over a Gaza cease-fire deal but gaps remain between Israel and Hamas.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, whose country is a mediator alongside the U.S. and Egypt, said “there has been progress to some extent in the situation.”
Mediators have held “successive meetings” with the Hamas leadership in an effort to bridge the gaps, he said during a visit to Spain.
“There cannot be one party to the conflict adopting the vision of the other party,” he said. The solution “must be based on compromises between the two parties,” he added.
