TheQatar Investment AuthorityexpectsDonald Trump sreturn to the White House will lead to a boom in US technology deals, Bloomberg

The Biden administration is putting pressure on a deal before the inauguration, which will see President-elect Donald Trump return to the White House.

Negotiators were close to reaching the final details of a ceasefire in Gaza on Wednesday after marathon talks in Qatar, with the U.S. and Egyptian leaders promising to stay in close contact about a deal over the coming hours.

Qatar might be a small country in the gulf region but they have played a critical role in negotiating on high stakes issues the last few years. […]

(Reuters) -Mediator Qatar has handed Israel and Hamas a "final" draft of a ceasefire and hostage release agreement designed to end the war in Gaza, an official briefed on the negotiations told Reuters on Monday.

In the very last hours of President Joe Biden’s time in office, a prisoner exchange years in the making was finally struck: the Taliban agreed to swap two Americans being held in Afghanistan for one Taliban member serving a life sentence in a US prison.

Rarely have representatives of current and new presidents of different parties worked together at such a high-stakes moment. But the president and the president-elect didn’t quite share credit.

A Gaza truce and hostage release deal is close and could be finalised in the final week of US President Joe Biden's term, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan has said.

The two were exchanged for a man arrested in eastern Afghanistan two decades ago who has been serving a life sentence in a California prison.
