Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari says Gaza ceasefire and captive-prisoner swap talks between Israel and Hamas remain “close to a stalemate”.
Qatar is one of the key mediators in the talks between the two sides, in addition to Egypt and the US.
Asked about the International Criminal Court prosecutor’s decision to seek arrest warrants against some Israeli and Hamas leaders, al-Ansari said it was too early for Qatar to comment directly on that but that all states and organisations should be “held responsible for the killing of civilians”.
On Monday, ICC prosecutor Karim Khan said he had requested arrest warrants for Israeli PM Netanyahu, defence chief Yoav Gallant and three Hamas leaders.
