Qatar says recent Israeli Gaza attacks show lack of interest in ceasefire
Briefly

Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani recently criticized Israel's military actions in Gaza, asserting that they demonstrate a reluctance to cease hostilities. Following the release of a US-Israeli soldier, Al Thani had hoped for renewed peace negotiations, but Israel's response escalated violence instead. He argued that humanitarian organizations are adequately prepared to distribute aid, yet are blocked by Israel's ongoing military actions, leading to dire conditions, including potential famine. Al Thani also dismissed a new US-supported aid initiative that could exclude UN agencies from support efforts in Gaza.
Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani emphasized that the blockade has led to catastrophic humanitarian conditions, pushing Gaza towards famine and escalating tensions.
He criticized Israel's ongoing military actions, stating that instead of progressing towards peace, Israel is intensifying strikes on Gaza, thus undermining any hope for negotiations.
Al Thani pointed out that existing humanitarian organizations already have the capabilities to deliver aid, but are hindered by Israel's restrictions and military operations in the region.
He stated that the recent US-backed humanitarian plan is unnecessary and merely serves to exclude established UN organizations from providing vital aid to the Palestinian people.
