Reuters

WASHINGTON, Jan 29 (Reuters) - The Qatari prime minister on Monday said that good progress was made in weekend talks with the U.S., Israeli and Egyptian spy chiefs on a way forward toward a new Israel-Hamas hostage release deal.

Speaking to an Atlantic Council webinar, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al Thani said he hoped to present a framework for such a deal to Hamas "and get them to a place where they engage constructively." (Reporting by Jonathan Landay, Arshad Mohammed and Andrew Mills)
