Qatari Foreign Ministry: the parties are far from agreeing on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. “Negotiations continue in Doha and Cairo, but we are not yet closer to concluding a ceasefire agreement,” TASS quotes him as saying.

Earlier, a representative of the Palestinian Hamas movement said that a truce agreement in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict zone could be reached in one or two days if Israel accepted the demands put forward by the movement. The diplomat said this during a press conference.
