‘We must not the let the Qataris be the mediator. It is better for Egypt or Turkey to be the mediator than the Qataris. Hamas is Qatar,’ Arab expert tells Post.
On Monday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the French Minister of the Armed Forces that Israel had not yet received any verification that the medications had reached the hostages.
The medications will leave Doha on Wednesday and will then be transported to Egypt.
A senior diplomatic source revealed that the deal is expected to include children, women, and men, including three senior IDF officers who were captured by Hamas.
Guterres was speaking at the Doha Forum conference as Washington vetoed a proposed UNSC demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the war.
Qatari prime minister said they will continue to pressure Israel and Hamas for a truce despite "narrowing" chances.
The issue is highly pressurized because the existing deal is set to expire Thursday morning with the resumption of the war.
As part of that deal, Israel would agree to a five-day ceasefire, during which time the hostages would be released in small groups.
Qatar has a long record of harboring and funding terrorist organizations. It's time the US holds them accountable.
Netanyahu spoke amid growing pressure from the international to press Israel to accept a mechanism for a series of humanitarian pauses.
