President Biden spoke today with Amir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani of Qatar.  The two leaders discussed the deal now on the table to secure the release of hostages together with an immediate and sustained ceasefire in Gaza. The President confirmed that the United States together with Egypt and Qatar would work to ensure the full implementation of its terms. He urged Amir Tamim to exert all efforts to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas as this is now the only obstacle to an immediate ceasefire and relief for the people of Gaza. The two leaders reviewed ongoing initiatives to increase the flow of life-saving assistance to civilians in Gaza.  The President thanked the Amir and his senior team for their tireless efforts to secure the release of all hostages held in Gaza.  The leaders agreed to remain closely coordinated directly and through their teams over the coming days.
