Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer spoke with Qatar's Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, discussing ongoing negotiations between Israel, the US and mediators regarding a ceasefire deal and the release of hostages. The unusual conversation took place under pressure from US envoy Steve Witkoff, while this channel had previously been managed by Mossad chief Dedi Barnea. Meanwhile, Witkoff is trying to break the deadlock and, with the help of mediators, is pressuring Hamas to send a new response to his proposal that would move closer to it and serve as a basis for talks in Doha.
