Jerusalem, Undefined – AFP
Qatar is mediating negotiations between Israel and Hamas for the potential release of a number of people held in Gaza by Hamas in exchange for a humanitarian pause, a source briefed on the talks told AFP.
“Negotiations mediated by the Qataris in coordination with the US are ongoing to secure the release of 10-15 hostages in exchange for a one- to two-day ceasefire,” the informed source said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the talks’ sensitivity.
