Qatar is confident that the deal it helped mediate for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas addressed all the major issues at stake in the conflict, the foreign ministry spokesman said, AFP reports.

“We are confident in the deal when it comes to the language of the deal, when it comes to the fact that we hashed out all the major issues on the table”, Majed al-Ansari told a press conference, adding that Qatar believes both parties would implement the deal.

“Any breach from either side or a political decision… could obviously lead the deal to collapse,” the spokesman said.

Ansari said Qatar felt assured the Trump administration “was very supportive of this deal”.

“We believe that the administration, through all the communication we are having with them… that they believe in this deal,” the spokesman said.

“Things are going positively… We believe that the next exchange will be smoother,” Ansari said, referring to the second swap due on Saturday.
