Qatar's prime minister claims there has been 'a bit of progress' in brokering a ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, but the ultimate question of how to end the war remains unanswered. Turkey's foreign minister also stated that Hamas seems more open to negotiating a lasting solution. Hamas is now considering an agreement that would release all remaining hostages and end hostilities for at least five years, but only if Israel withdraws all its forces from Gaza, which the Israeli government has shown no intention of doing.
