Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesman has said that a meeting that took place in Paris “succeeded in consolidating the proposals” for a ceasefire.
“The meeting in Paris succeeded in consolidating the proposals… That proposal has been approved by the Israeli side and now we have an initial positive confirmation from the Hamas’ side,” Majed al-Ansari said referring to meetings between Qatari, US, Israeli and Egyptian officials in the French capital on Sunday.
From another article Hamas Gives ‘Initial Positive Confirmation’ On Truce Plan: Qatar - Barron’s they say:
“That proposal has been approved by the Israeli side and now we have an initial positive confirmation from the Hamas’ side,” Majed al-Ansari told an audience at a Washington-based graduate school.
A source close to Hamas said, however, that there was still no consensus on the proposal.
“There is no agreement on the framework of the agreement yet… and the Qatari statement is rushed and not true,” the source told AFP in Gaza.
Hamas will demand that all Palestinian hostages will be released and Israel won’t “release them” and take even more. Unlikely to happen given Israel’s track record.
Nor will Hamas release all of theirs, frankly.
Hope it works.
