The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the suspension of its mediation efforts between Hamas and the Zionist entity at the present time .
Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari, the official spokesman for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, explained that the circulating reports about Qatar’s withdrawal from mediation regarding the ceasefire in Gaza are not accurate, pointing out that Qatar notified the parties 10 days ago during the last attempts to reach an agreement, that it would suspend its mediation efforts between Hamas and the Zionist entity if an agreement was not reached in that round, and that it would resume those efforts with partners when the necessary seriousness is available to end the brutal war and the ongoing suffering of civilians due to the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the Strip, stressing in this context that the State of Qatar will then be at the forefront of making every good effort to end the war and return the hostages and prisoners .
According to a statement by the Qatari Foreign Ministry, Al-Ansari stressed, in a statement to the Qatar News Agency (QNA), that “the State of Qatar will not accept that mediation be a reason for blackmailing it, as we have witnessed manipulation since the collapse of the first truce and the deal to exchange women and children, especially in the retreat from obligations that were agreed upon through mediation, and the exploitation of the continuation of negotiations to justify the continuation of the war to serve narrow political purposes .”
The official spokesman for the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs reiterated “Qatar’s firm commitment to supporting the brotherly Palestinian people until they obtain all their rights, foremost among which is their independent state on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital,” stressing “the centrality of the Palestinian cause to the State of Qatar.”
