Qatar has announced it will suspend its mediation efforts with Hamas and Israel, citing both sides' failure to negotiate sincerely despite its role in peace talks since October 2023.
A Qatari foreign ministry spokesperson stated that mediation efforts would resume only when there is a necessary seriousness to end the war and civilian suffering, indicating Qatar's frustration.
Despite Qatar's long-standing role in negotiations and humanitarian efforts, the approach by Hamas in recent talks led to this pivotal decision to withdraw from mediation.
The U.S. has relied on Qatar's unique position to connect with Hamas without direct engagement, but recent hostilities have strained this relationship, prompting Qatar's current course of action.
