Gaza: 'Critical moment' in the ceasefire. Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Prime Minister of Qatar who has played a key role in the negotiations between Israel and Hamas, says that the plan for a ceasefire is now at a 'critical moment.'
With only the remains of one hostage left to be returned, the mediator countries are now discussing how the second phase can be implemented, but according to Al Thani, obstacles still remain. 'What we have is a pause. A ceasefire cannot be completed until Israeli troops fully withdraw,' he said at a forum in Doha, according to AP. See the article on SVT Nyheter.
