Qatar PM says ‘very minor’ obstacles to hostage release deal remain - BBC News

Qatar’s prime minister says the challenges that remain in the talks to release the hostages taken by Hamas on 7 October are “very minor”.

Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman al-Thani added that his confidence was growing that a deal between Israel and Hamas could be reached.

Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu says nothing has yet been agreed and ruled out a full ceasefire - the US says officials are working to agree a deal.
