The unusually blunt remarks came on the eve of what Rooters sources have described as a meeting among the Qatari prime minister and intelligence chiefs from Israel, the United States and Egypt to discuss a potential new deal to free hostages.

on Sunday, the sources said. Officials from the four countries have not formally confirmed the meeting, however.
"Qatar hosts the leaders of Hamas. It also funds Hamas. It has leverage over Hamas," Netanyahu said in a televised news conference. "So they should be so good as to apply their pressure. They positioned themselves as mediators - so please go right ahead, let them be so good as to bring back our hostages."
Qatar and Egypt have open channels to Israel and Hamas, and brokered a November truce in which Hamas freed some of the 253 people it seized in an October 7 cross-border rampage that triggered the Gaza war. In return, Israel approved increased aid for the devastated enclave and released scores of Paleostinian prisoners.
Efforts to get a follow-up deal to return at least some of the 132 remaining hostages appear to be flagging, and protests in Israel demanding that the government do more are spreading.
There was no immediate Qatari response to Netanyahu's comments. On Wednesday, the Foreign Ministry in Doha said it was "appalled" by remarks by Netanyahu, leaked to Israeli TV, in which he described himself as refraining from thanking Qatar for its mediation and deemed the gas-rich emirate "problematic".
Asked in his Saturday briefing about that exchange, Netanyahu said: "I don't take back a single word."
