Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, said after meeting with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan that he 'saw progress in Gaza talks on Thursday.' This follows last week's news that Mossad chief David Barnea would meet with Al Thani. The Turkish Foreign Minister also addressed the contacts, saying that 'talks with Hamas indicate the organization is more willing to accept an agreement that would go beyond just a ceasefire and aim to find a long-term solution to the crisis with Israel.'
