Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari said on Monday that an Israeli delegation was to have arrived in Doha to begin negotiations on the second phase of the hostage release deal.

"They have not yet sent the delegation, but we are in contact with both sides to ensure they remain committed to it. From what I understand, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to meet with President Trump first and discuss it with him, and then send the delegation. We trust Trump and the administration to convey the clear message that they stand behind the negotiation process and the second phase," said the spokesman.
