Qatar has resumed its efforts to mediate a ceasefire in Gaza, aiming to secure a truce and potentially facilitate a hostage exchange. The country’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari, confirmed that Qatar is actively engaging with key stakeholders involved in the conflict.
Al Ansari stated that Qatar has been in continuous contact with relevant parties, listening to their positions and exchanging ideas through meetings and phone calls. He added that recent developments have provided positive signs for the advancement of the negotiations, though he cautioned that these early indications do not guarantee a successful resolution.
In a recent statement, Al Ansari emphasized the importance of balancing pressure on both sides to reach an agreement, stating, "We do believe that it's not useful to say that pressure should be on one party, not the other. We need to pressure both parties into an agreement."
Qatar had suspended its mediation efforts in November, citing a lack of seriousness from both Hamas and Israel regarding ceasefire and hostage release talks.
