Qatari PM highlights complexities in captive negotiations

Qatari PM Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has said there had been "false" reports on negotiations to release Israeli captives held in Gaza, without elaborating.

During a news conference in Doha along with French Foreign Minister Colonna, Al Thani said that there were complexities in the field due to "Israeli military practices" in the enclave. In separate remarks, Qatar's foreign ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari said efforts to secure the release of the captives required a "period of calm" and that leaks from the negotiations were "harmful".
