The prospect of landing a deal to release more hostages from Gaza still hangs in the balance - with the threat of an Israeli ground offensive hanging over the process. Other countries seeking to mediate say the scale of the crisis is 'huge', Dominic Waghorn writes.
Negotiations to release more Hamas hostages from Gaza are ongoing but could be jeopardised by an Israeli ground offensive, Qatari mediators have warned. 'If we can keep discussions going between both parties we should see some sort of breakthrough, hopefully soon,' Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al Thani, Qatar's foreign minister, told Sky News in a briefing in Doha.
It says the military action is to defend itself after the slaughter of 1,400 Israelis, many civilians, by Hamas on 7 October. But thousands of lives have been lost in Gaza, with a third of hospitals there shut due to a shortage of fuel caused by an Israeli blockade.
