The Israeli government and the Hamas Movement have reached an agreement to allow medicines to be delivered to Israeli captives held in the Gaza Strip and for aid to be transported to residents in the war-torn Palestinian territory, Qatar has announced.
The deal will see humanitarian aid delivered to civilians in “the most affected and vulnerable areas” in Gaza in exchange for the delivery of medication to Israeli captives held by al-Qassam Brigades of Hamas, Hamas and Qatar’s ministry of foreign affairs said in statements on Tuesday.
The Qatari statement said the agreement was mediated by Qatar in cooperation with France.
The ministry added that Doha’s mediation between Israel and Hamas would continue “within the framework of Qatari efforts to bring about an end to the war in Gaza.”
