Qatar, along with Egypt, is currently working on a new agreement that could set free more hostages, despite the Israeli premier’s comments, Al Jazeera reports.

Qatar has served as the main mediator between the movement that governs Gaza and Israeli officials.

Currently, the White House’s Middle East envoy, Brett McGurk, is in Doha, according to Al Jazeera. The visit comes after McGurk met officials in Egypt in hopes of establishing a temporary truce between Israel and Hamas. However, officials say the gap between the two sides is still wide.
