Gaza peace talks yet to make headway as Israel stick to its conditions
Sources in the Israeli Defense Ministry told IANS that Israel would stick to its terms, which the war cabinet had agreed upon.
After a shocking defeat to the hands of Oman in campaign opener of the 2022 World Cup qualifier, India now lock horns with the reigning Asian champions Qatar at the latter’s home on Tuesday.
India coach Igor Stimac, however, revealed that the Blue Tigers have had very little time to prepare for the massive tie with Qatar. He stated that India were more focused on their game against Oman which India had a realistic chance of getting at least a point from. However, that was not to be as the Blue Tigers crashed to a 2-1 defeat.
“To be honest we didn’t have much time for the Qatar game because of all our focus on the Oman game. We know that Qatar at the moment is far ahead of the Asian teams. They proved that in the Asian Cup, winning it very easily,” Stimac was quoted as saying by Goal.

“They had a very good tournament in Copa America. Once again they have proved that they have grown, grown very good.”
The Croatian also felt that after the workload his charges had in the Oman game on Thursday, his focus was on recovery and keeping themselves fresh.
“We gave everything we have in the Oman game and just resting and refreshing our legs for tomorrow (Tuesday). So (we are doing) nothing special from a preparation point of view. We are working on refreshing the players and mostly talking to them (about the mindset required).”
Meanwhile, Stimac also asserted that India will give it their all in Doha.
