Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari said on Tuesday at a press conference: "Negotiations on the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza have not yet officially begun. We will implement the terms of the first phase in order to move to the second phase of the ceasefire agreement."
He noted that, at this stage, "there is no answer regarding the coordination of the hostage release next week," and added that "what is happening on the ground affects the negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza."
According to Al-Ansari, "there is a positive atmosphere regarding the second phase of the agreement. The arrival of the delegations depends on the decisions of the parties involved."
