Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar says progress has been made in the ongoing negotiations in Qatar to reach a ceasefire deal, Al Jazeera reports according to The Times of Israel.

Saar, who was speaking at a conference in Jerusalem alongside his Danish counterpart, Lars Lokke Rasmussen, was quoted by the newspaper as saying: “There is progress, I said it looks much better than previously … but I don’t want to say more than that, because I realise there are families that are sensitive to every word and every sentence.

“I hope that within a short time, we will see things happening, but it is still to be proved,” he is reported to have said.
