Qatar has an operations room in Doha where they are going to get real-time information from Gaza. They have direct links with the Israeli military and Hamas, said Al Jazeera Qatar correspondent James Bays.

“The idea is that if there is any sort of violation, that because of those direct links, they are going to try and nip it in the bud and make sure that this truce can continue, that this process can continue for the four days.

“And then, they are hoping, that it can continue beyond the four days,” Bays said.
