ISRAEL: Qatar Says Gaza Deal 'In Final Stage', ToI Reports Hamas Accepts Draft

ISRAEL
EM Bulletmarkets-real-timeHomepagePolitical RiskCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletEnergy BulletsBulletEmerging Market NewsMiddle East

Qatari Foreign Ministry spox Majed Al-Ansari has said in a press briefing on the prospect of a Gaza ceasefire deal, “We do believe we are at a developed stage, we do believe we are at a final stage, but obviously until there is an announcement, there will be no announcement,”. Says that "It's very difficult" to try to pinpoint a specific time frame for a deal, but adds “All we can say is that today we are the closest than at any time in the past to a deal,”. 

  • Al-Ansari says the negotiations have passed "the biggest challenges... but it doesn't mean that we have reached the end of the negotiations [...] The most minor detail can undermine the whole process. The underlying issues have been ironed out… this doesn't mean the deal is a reality... we might be lost in the details, as was the case in the past."
  • The Times of Israel reports that according to two officials, Hamas has accepted the draft agreement.
  • There is also focus on whether ultranationalist parties in the Israeli gov't could look to scupper a deal. Al Jazeera quotes Alon Liel, the former director general of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, saying that the gov't of PM Benjamin Netanyahu will be able to rely on the support of opposition centrist parties to pass a ceasefire deal even if the ultranationalists in gov't vote against.
