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.
