Qatar has announced the suspension of its mediation efforts for a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel, citing a lack of willingness to negotiate seriously from both parties. A Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson emphasized that Qatar will resume mediation only when both sides demonstrate a genuine commitment to negotiations. This decision comes following recent talks that failed to produce an agreement, with Qatar stating that ongoing hostilities prevent continued facilitation of dialogue. Additionally, allegations regarding the potential closure of Hamas’s office in Doha were dismissed as the office serves as a communication channel for all involved.
