Qatar government has declared the talks between Israel and Hamas are at a ‘sensitive’ stage, with the truce and release of hostages stalled. “We are going through a sensitive stage with some stalling, and we are trying as much as possible to address this stalling,” said Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani at a news conference. Mediators hoped to secure a ceasefire before the start of Ramadan, but progress has faltered and the possibility of a regional conflict has enlarged.
