QATAR CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT OUTCOME OF THE TALKS

Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesperson says he is cautiously optimistic over talks for a humanitarian pause. That is a little improvement in comparison with what was said a few weeks ago, when he expressed that he was not that optimistic about what was going on. He said it is an opportunity that the talks are taking place in Doha, so Qatar will have a closer follow-up on, and understanding of what is going on. The spokesperson said that the talks were going on and results cannot be predicted, adding that it was too early to talk about any results. He also said there could be no time limits on these talks, which could be like any other talks that took place in the past, but this time they are more optimistic.
