Hamas has sent a "positive" response to the Gaza hostage deal

The Prime Minister of Qatar, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, announced that Hamas has sent a "positive" response to the proposal aimed at the release of the remaining hostages in Gaza and a permanent cessation of hostilities. 

"I would like to inform the mass media that we have received a response from Hamas regarding the general framework of the hostage agreement. The answer contains some comments, but generally, it is positive. However, given the delicacy of the circumstances, we will not elaborate. We are optimistic and have conveyed the answer to the Israeli side," Al Thani said during a press conference with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in Doha.
