Hamas official: "We are talking above all about a complete and total ceasefire" A framework for a truce and the release of hostages must be transmitted to Hamas, the Prime Minister of Qatar announced in Washington. It was unclear Monday evening whether the Hamas official was responding to the framework or not.
Qatar, along with Egypt and the U.S., has led mediation efforts since war broke out on October 7 between Israel and Hamas, following an unprecedented attack by the Palestinian movement on Israeli soil.
