Qatar's Prime Minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, is set to hold a press conference later today in to discuss the hostage-for-ceasefire deal negotiations. The past 48 hours have seen a flurry of headlines ranging from a deal being within hours of announcement, to disagreements from Israel or Hamas to certain aspects of the draft proposal threatening to set back talks.
- As noted earlier (see 'ISRAEL: Efforts To Reach Gaza Deal Resume, Risk From Israeli Hardliners Shrinks', 1231GMT, 'SECURITY: Hamas Gives 'Green Light' To Gaza Ceasefire Deal, Jerusalem Post', 1318GMT and 'SECURITY: Netanyahu's Office Counters Reporting On Gaza Ceasefire' 1334GMT), there is little concrete information available on the immediacy of any ceasefire announcement.
- Qatar's Al Araby Al Jadeed reports that any eventual ceasefire deal announcement will come from the Egyptian capital, Cairo, with the agreement of all parties.
