The Qatari Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that the negotiations on a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas are in the "final stage." While it did not release any details, the ministry said the talks are focusing on the conditions for the release of hostages.
Earlier today, Hamas Political Bureau Chairman Ismail Haniyeh claimed a deal brokered by Qatar and other mediators is near. According to previous reports, the ceasefire is expected to last at least five days as more aid is supplied to Gaza and the two sides release a number of hostages.
