Qatar Pauses Mediation Efforts in Gaza

Qatar has temporarily halted its mediation efforts for a cease-fire in Gaza, citing a lack of progress between Israel and Hamas. The Qatari government has expressed frustration over the stalled negotiations and has requested Hamas's political leaders to leave the country due to their unconstructive engagement in the peace process. This decision aligns with U.S. communications regarding Hamas's rejection of hostage release proposals. Qatar has indicated it will resume mediation when parties show genuine intent to end the conflict, emphasizing the need for a sustainable and just solution to the ongoing crisis.
