Joe Biden talked to the Emir of Qatar about the release of the Israeli hostages

US President Joe Biden talked to the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, about the release of the Israeli hostages.

According to the statement of the White House , the President thanked the Emir for his mediation and efforts.

It should be noted that recently a secret audio recording of the Prime Minister of Israel was released, where he criticized the USA and Qatar for insufficient pressure on Hamas. We are talking about an audio recording aired by Israel's Channel 12, which is believed to have been recorded when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with the families of those held hostage by Hamas. In the recording, Netanyahu allegedly says that Qatar is not doing enough to pressure Hamas to release the hostages.

After the October 7 attack, 136 hostages remain in the captivity of Hamas.

According to reports, the Prime Minister of Qatar will visit Washington next week.
