Doha: Egypt and Qatar Received Hamas' Response to Ceasefire, Awaiting Israeli Response

Qatari Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari affirmed his country's commitment to cooperating with Egypt to exert all efforts to achieve positive outcomes for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. He stated that Egypt and Qatar received Hamas's response to the proposed ceasefire in Gaza, describing this response as "positive" and representing a near-identical image of what was previously agreed upon by the Israeli side. He noted that the Israeli response is still awaited.

The Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman indicated in a press conference on Tuesday that what Hamas agreed to yesterday is 98% consistent with the proposal of US envoy Steve Witkoff. He added that there are no real guarantees on the ground other than the commitment of both parties to implement the agreement. He emphasized that his country is cooperating with Egypt and international parties to achieve any form of ceasefire and allow the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip.
