JAKARTA - Qatar resumed talks with political bureau Hamas in Doha following the assassination of leader of the group Yahya Sinwar in Gaza last week.
"We have held several meetings with them in recent days; I believe that there is no clarity on what will happen in the future," said Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.
Hamas' position according to Al Thani regarding the ceasefire and hostage-taking has not changed since the last meditation effort.
Last week, senior Hamas official Khalil Al-Hayya said the hostages would only be released if the war in Gaza ended, Israeli forces withdrew from the enclave and Palestinian prisoners were released.
The main charge charge was filed with mediator several times over the past year which was rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Al Thani said the Hamas delegation was in Egypt today for ongoing discussions.
