Leaders from Qatar are trying to help. They are talking with Israel and Hamas. Qatar is a mediator in the Gaza war. A mediator helps two sides talk and find an answer to a problem.
The talks for a big peace deal were very hard. The Qatari prime minister said both sides were not ready. A full peace agreement was not possible right now. The problems were too difficult to solve quickly.
So, the mediators made a new plan. They decided to focus on a smaller goal first. This goal was a hostage-prisoner swap. A hostage is a person who is kept as a prisoner by an enemy.
This new plan was faster and could help people soon. The mediators decided to delay the more difficult talks. They will talk about the harder issues later. The most important thing now is to get people home safely.
