Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani revealed in Brussels that there have been no recent negotiations for a hostage release and ceasefire deal. Qatar, a key ally of the United States, has been working closely with Washington and Egypt to secure the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza and bring an end to the conflict in the region.
The statement from Al Thani comes in the wake of a tragic incident where an Israeli strike targeted the Al Aqsa hospital in Gaza, resulting in the deaths of numerous civilians who were seeking shelter at the facility. The Israeli military claimed that the strike was aimed at a Hamas command and control center located within the hospital complex.
Despite ongoing calls for a ceasefire and the release of hostages, US officials have indicated that there are no immediate plans to present President Joe Biden with a new proposal for negotiations in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The situation in Gaza remains tense, with civilians continuing to bear the brunt of the violence.
Efforts to broker a ceasefire and secure the release of hostages in Gaza are ongoing, with international partners working to find a peaceful resolution to the conflict. The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, with thousands of civilians displaced and in need of urgent assistance.
