Doha: Qatar has told Hamas and Israel it will stall its efforts to mediate a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal until they show “willingness and seriousness” to resume talks, its foreign ministry said.
The Qatari ministry also said press reports on the future of the Hamas political office in Doha were inaccurate without specifying how.
“Qatar notified the parties 10 days ago during the last attempts to reach an agreement that it would stall its efforts to mediate between Hamas and Israel if an agreement was not reached in the round,” Qatar’s foreign ministry said.
“Qatar will resume those efforts with its partners when the parties show their willingness and seriousness to end the brutal war.”
