Qatari Prime Minister meets Hamas delegation in Doha for Gaza ceasefire talks
Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdul-Rahman Al Thani, held discussions with a high-level delegation from the Hamas Movement in Doha to address the ongoing war in Gaza and advance ceasefire negotiations.
The delegation, led by senior Hamas official Khalil al-Hayya, engaged in talks aimed at reaching a comprehensive agreement to halt Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. In a statement released on Saturday, Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized the country’s commitment to mediating a clear and sustainable resolution to the crisis.
Last week, Hamas announced that progress in the ceasefire and prisoner exchange negotiations, mediated by Qatar and Egypt, had been delayed due to new Israeli demands. Despite the challenges, Hamas reaffirmed its flexibility and sense of responsibility in the discussions, which are critical for alleviating the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.
The talks come amid escalating tensions and a dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, with thousands of casualties and widespread destruction following months of Israeli military offensives. Qatar has positioned itself as a key mediator in the negotiations, leveraging its regional influence to foster dialogue and seek a resolution to the conflict.
Efforts to secure a ceasefire remain ongoing, with both regional and international stakeholders closely monitoring developments in Doha. (ILKHA)
