Phone call between Biden and Emir of Qatar about the ceasefire in Gaza

According to Isna, US President Joe Biden had a telephone conversation with Qatar Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on Monday evening to discuss the prisoner exchange and ceasefire negotiations in Gaza.

According to the claim of the occupied Palestinian publication “The Times of Israel”, this call takes place while “Hamas and Israel are close to an agreement.”

The White House also claimed in its reading of this telephone conversation: “Both leaders emphasized the urgent need for an agreement, and Biden thanked the Emir of Qatar for Qatar’s efforts in mediating between Israel and Hamas.”

Earlier, the Amiri Diwan of Qatar announced in a statement that the Emir of this country had a discussion with the Hamas delegation headed by “Khalil al-Hiya” about the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza.

The statement said: “During this meeting, the Emir of Qatar discussed the latest developments related to negotiations aimed at achieving a long-term ceasefire in Gaza.”

The Amiri Diwan of Qatar further added: “During this meeting, Sheikh Tamim emphasized Qatar’s steadfast positions on the justice of the Palestinian issue and the rights of the Palestinian nation.”

The consultation between Doha and Washington is taking place while earlier “Jake Sullivan”, the national security adviser of the United States, claimed that the Zionist regime is in a position to demand an agreement and that the agreement may be reached within the next week.

The Zionist journalist “Barak Ravid” published a message on X social network (former Twitter) quoting Sullivan and wrote: “There is a high probability that an agreement will be reached this week before the end of Joe Biden’s presidential term.”

According to the Zionist journalist, the Palestinian resistance movement (Hamas) is under a lot of pressure to agree to the ceasefire agreement and exchange of prisoners, and the occupying regime is also in a situation where it wants an agreement.

On January 20 (Bahman 1), the presidential term of US President Joe Biden ended and US President-elect Donald Trump took the oath of office. He has previously asked the parties to reach a ceasefire agreement before the start of his presidency and said that if the Zionist prisoners are not released by then, “hell will break out in the Middle East.”
