Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari says US-Iran negotiations “need more time”. 
United States President Donald Trump says he has postponed a planned attack on Iran at the request of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and added that “serious negotiations are now taking place”. 
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian said “dialogue does not mean surrender”, and that Tehran had entered the “dialogue with dignity, authority, and the preservation of the nation’s rights”. 
Lebanon’s Health Ministry said on Monday that at least 3,020 people have been killed and 9,273 injured in Israel’s bombardment and invasion of the country since March 2. 
Condemnation is growing after Israeli forces again intercepted boats in the Gaza aid flotilla, with reports of some 47 vessels seized in international waters and hundreds of activists abducted.
