Qatar Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari said that "it is too early to share impressions from the contacts for a ceasefire and release of the hostages." According to him, "Indirect negotiations regarding Gaza continue with the aim of reaching an agreement. We aspire to reach a framework agreement between both sides and are trying to narrow the gaps between them. Any escalation on the ground will affect mediation, and negotiations will continue until an agreement is reached. We have not set a timeline for achieving it."
