Middle East and Qatar push for hostage deal between Israel and Hamas

Qatar as one of the main protagonists of the war in the Middle East. The emirate’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman, Majed Al-Ansari, said that the parties involved in negotiations for the release of the hostages are considering the possibility of a prisoner exchange agreement. According to the spokesperson, Hamas’ handling of the hostage issue is being conducted in a chaotic manner: “Talks are ongoing with all parties, 24 hours a day, to ensure that we reach an agreement , and we hope to do so. The expansion of Israel’s military activity in Gaza makes this difficult. But despite the expansion of activities, Netanyahu today mentioned mediating negotiations for an agreement on the release of prisoners. A Hamas spokesman said a few minutes ago that they are ready for a prisoner exchange. The efforts will ensure that more hostages are released.”

Furthermore, Qatar has made it known that it believes the closure of the Hamas office in Doha makes no sense; in fact, keeping an open line of communication with the Islamic movement’s politburo serves this time in hostage negotiations and much more. usually to “create peace”. “This channel has been very useful in combating the escalation that has occurred. Therefore, as long as this channel is useful in creating peace, we must have it. We cannot afford to lose him”, Al-Ansari’s words after the pressure received from Qatar in the last few hours.
