Qatar has been working for months as a mediator in negotiations aimed at bringing about a ceasefire in Gaza and the release of Israeli captives.
But Qatar’s prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, said Doha is re-evaluating that role, adding that some parties have used the mediation for “narrow political interest”.
He made the comments during a joint news conference with Turkey’s foreign minister in Doha.
He added that while Qatar remains committed to mediation on a “humanitarian basis”, there has been “abuse and harm” done related to Qatar’s role.
Some parties have made “destructive” statements against Qatar, he said, without saying to whom he was referring.
On Tuesday, Qatar’s embassy in Washington, DC, denounced comments from US lawmaker Steny Hoyer, who said the US would re-evaluate its ties with Qatar if it does not pressure Hamas to accept a ceasefire proposal advanced by the Israelis and accused Qatar of siding with Hamas.
Speaking in Qatar, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan accused the Israeli leader of seeking war for political gain in the wake of an attack by Iran.
“It is clear that Netanyahu is trying to drag the region into war to stay in power,” Fidan said. He called on allies of Israel to constrain further action.
Al Jazeera’s Resul Serdar was at the press conference in the Qatari capital Doha.

Qatar funding terror and playing mediator. 😂😂😂😂
Shame on all of you.
At least they are participating in talks as to what situation is what should be done about it
Why Qatar wants to impose itself as a mediator in first place ?
Why don’t Qataris man up, live up to the spirit of Juresalem, cease the profitable mega gas stations business and carry weapons and go to help Hamas to free Palestine ?! 😂
True, how they all denounced iran and not israel for all of the mess
Qutar has done much for upholding humanity in Palestine. Support their efforts.
Hahaha now they want to de escalate the so called allies who close the airspace to us and now are calling for peace gtfo let war start
Because they see Israel coming after every Arab country.
2:12 De De De De
Israel has lost this war 100%
AJ is not to be trusted, just like Quatar.
Shame Shame Shame on Gulf for not raising their voice for Palestine.
The caliph Umar of the rashidun caliphate exported the jews of arabia to jericho and taima. Jericho is considered to be a part of the so called west bank the (so called) palestinians claim to be their land. Did the righteous caliph steal palestinian land? is that what you say?
I want to be arab
Leader to help palestines,sudan, Somalia poor peoples
Hello to those referred to as Palestinians, I heard a terrific and modern song today, maybe referred to as rap. I think you may enjoy it, listen to words carefully. The song is, “Free Palestine” by Ari Lesser on YouTube channel, Standwithus…
Qatar needs to lie low as it could be drawn into the war
I believe the whole issue is Hamas… And its desire to overtake counties to spread radical Islamic ideology, is it not?
If turkey and Qatar really care about Palestinians then why are they not allowing Palestinian refugees to settle down in Qatar and turkey ? 😂😂
Qatar is the financier and mastermind of all terror groups,al qaida ,isis and hamas one day they will get a bill for that what goes around comes around .
😢 just unbearable 😳 the people of the world community all agreed we must end this toxic disastrous ideology set in Isreal. Its a cancer. They don’t even care about their own ppl .just like ours. One stated that they were locked away from the world community right afterward plus we all know what actually happened in the beginning so ordering ppl to off their own. That is the cause of mental breakdown. Which is toxic. It again needs to end its .a cancer in the region.
I thought we all agreed this ideology was outlawed after 2nd. leaders wrote the articles of international law. Never again, never again, is happening again . We need to stop abusive behavior. We need western diplomats..we can get professor sachs..he helped the polish ppl and tried to hekp Gorbachev. A hugh missed opportunity. The Iranians we could have been great partners. We don’t have to be the world police..i didn’t know that was happening but I kept seeing them talking as if they were in charge of everyone existence thats is awful..
A great leader is one who allows the people to learn to be safe to have opportunity to succeed . Access to basics of. life its a investment. Of your own successful in your country..to have food shelter electricity.
By the way folks all this emp will cause cancer and kill wildlife..i wonfer if china knows that or maybe solved the emp exposure. Its like smoking its a long slow death..wind turbines kill birds. They get disoriented qutar the cloud seeding causes floods. I know Saudis have been using the cloud seeding. The chems kill plants. Causes diseases. Yuk.
Stop protecting Ismael Haniyeh and this would all be over
Cowards
If Iran through Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis didn’t attack Israel on Oct 7th on Israeli land, wouldn’t Netanyahu have left power when his time was due? How may countries in this world changed presidents in times of war? When Hezbollah and the Houthis joined the war, didn’t they know they they were creating a spillover and also prolonging both the war Netanyahu’s duration in power? Stop these cheap propaganda and know the right sources to blame.
Better late than never. Should have taken this stand 6 months ago.
Jordan traitor
Finally someone who’s going to say no to Netanyahu demons otherwise US and UK are too quick to say yes to his every request in seconds
Ishmael Haniya gave the order to attack Israel on October 7, 2024, from Qatar. so how Qatar can be a mediator? and what kind?
Shame on all puppet Arab leaders. 😮
How’s turk leaders support internally Zionists terrors.
Why Qatar must houses ten thousand us forces???
Alas the truth
Behind the door 🚪 Qatar with America and America with isreal
Shame on IRAN for funding terrorism and massacre
Saudi and their puppets.
Bold and correct statements made by the Qatari PM, was somewhat not satisfactory from the Turkish side who said Iran is not victim, how come. The whole west has put their combined backing and support behind the corrupt and criminal Israeli regime and there is hardly a single country that has taken an official position in support of the Iranian legitimat defence. It’s so surprising and equally shameful.
Every second of this was worth my time. ⌛👌
Sham on u turkeys export to Israel. Arab help Israel… only long live iran 🇮🇷
Netanyahu the public enemy.
Thank you so much Ms. Elizabeth for the latest news. ❤❤❤❤❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very dignified and responsible response from Qatar. They have been mediating- only to be insulted again and again by Netanyahu and his government. When Netanyahu threw his first insult at Qatar, I asked myself why Qataris continue to be mediators. Because it doesn’t work like this, if you want or need something from someone, you can’t insult this very same person- even if you don’t like this person.
Two faced Doha is now exposed 😂😂
Here we ask who started the war in Gaza? The turkey foreign minister aleging that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza is what we call crocodile tears.(sponsors)
Turkey is hypocritical. Erdogan is the puppet of Zionists.
In my opinion the Turkish government is a disappointment. They should have stopped gas going through turkey to Israel a long time ago.
Did he attack anyone before October 7
Money overcompensating for balls big time!!
Arabs it’s time for you to go and hide under your women’s abaaya. Let true men fight for Islam. Allah is sufficient for them. May Allah SWT pour constancy and determination on them.
Qatar and all the other gulf states are the United states vassal states. They can’t do anything that will go against their master. If they can, ask why are they still trading with Israel? Why haven’t they sanction Israel? Why do they join south Africa in the ICJ? This gulf leaders are just bunch of weak leaders.
Stop the Zionists and freedom to Palastine.
The truth is ALL these countries in the Middle East are clowns.
Sanctions are needed, enough talk
Ces pays sont sous la domination sionistes de leurs contrats de quelques 💰💰💰 en milliards… mais, il y a sûrement des choses qu’ils pourraient faire pour les obliger a cessez-le-feu immédiat comme se retirer de la normalisation avec ces diables génocidaires et autres, chaques jours font des centaines de morts et cependant, ils blablablabla sans aucun résultat.
Difficult mediating when one party are Israeli facists
Turkey watched a genocide against Gaza for 6 months before they stopped trading with Israel what absolute traitors and cowards all that matters to Turkey is money and worshiping the west
Qatar demand for the war mongering Western countries asking for a ceasefire is very sensible .
Let them enjoy with each other
Very difficult to re-evaluate when you have more than ten thousand US soldiers on your soil.
😅😅😅😅 this 2 country is western dog 🐕. They act what USA told them.😂😂😂😂
Qatar is next Dubai has its flood pretty sure things bout to go down in middles east for turning a blind eye on your ummah
iran drones shows the true colour of arab gulf countries. shame on saudi, uae, jordan and egypt
YOU ARE COMPLICIT HYPOCRITES. STOP SELLING THE JEWS OIL FIR A START. OR STFU
The hostages didn’t survive past the first two months and hamas has no bargaining chips left.
Shame on Arab leaders Saudi UAE and Jordan
Israel is responsible for any escalation in the Middle East !!
Russia, china and middle east not condemned iran, india cries about erdogan and jordan. where israel proxy sanction iran. people watching the hypocrisy.
Qatar 🇶🇦 is a weak country.
Qatar can’t remove this tag 🔖
In this year world saw QATAR
They all western tools
I don’t blame Qatar for re-evaluating its role. How long can you negotiate with Israel when they won’t make any concessions and continue their violence?
Qatar mediation is to put pressure on Hamas to accept US and ezreel terms ….. ….. You can see how Qatar helped to mediate in the Ukrainian children released by Russia, and Qatar taking credit of helping Ukraine and the West …….
These very nice people 💕🌺✌️
The zionist jew have threatened them.
Everyone needs to speak clearly, the time of vague references are long gone.
For the sake of humanity and whatever is left of it, Qatar and others, please call a spade a spade!
I think the Arab world is trying play safe and with Strategy. Remember that Gaza’s struggle is against the entire west. Arabs have lost many wars for not being good enough in strategy.
হে আরব নেতারা তোদেরকে আল্লাহ রাব্বুল আলামীন কত নিয়ামত দান করেছেন প্রাকৃতিক সম্পদ তেল গ্যাস স্বর্ণ অলংকার পশ্চিমাদের কিছু নাই কিন্তু তারা তোদের থেকে এত এগিয়ে গেল কিভাবে তোরা শুধু নিজের ক্ষমতা ধরে রাখার চিন্তা করস মুসলিম ভাই বোনদের কে ফিলিস্তিনে নির্মমভাবে হত্যা করতেছে ইজরায়েলের সেনারা আর তোর হাতে চুড়ি পড়ে বসে আছোস তোদেরকে মারামারি করতে বলি না কিন্তু তোদের অনেক কিছু করার আছে তোরা খাবার অপচয় করস কিন্তু আমার ফিলিস্তিনি ভাইবোনেরা না খেয়ে আছে
The idea of dragging into war, is the kind of mild talk expected from Turkey, Iran and rest of sellouts
“Lord GOD says: BECAUSE YOU (HAMAS)… REJOICED AGAINST the land of ISREAL with a heart full of MALICE AND HATE , therefore I WILL INDEED STRETCH OUT MY HAND AGAINST YOU AND GIVE YOU AS PLUNDER TO THE NATIONS. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the LORD” Ezek 25:6,7

I love all you fools saying “Shame On Gulf Countries” Shame? They saw what happened to Iraq & Afghanistan and what happens if you do something America does not approve, which includes not bowing down to Israel. Shame on you commenters!
Qatar houses Hamas terrorists 🇺🇸 should consider moving out the base to a more friendly country like 🇦🇪
Has there been cowardly shameless leaders than these Arab leaders.
Their illusion is that if Iran catches fire they (Arabs) will stay pretty. What a folly.
To all those who say: Shame on the Gulf countries, why don’t you say shame on Turkey, which is still exporting to Israel, or Indonesia, which has become close to normalization??
The truth is: shame on you
Arabs think Palestinians collaborate with other sects.
Other think not our group.
Qatar feels dishonored.
No one thinks zionist apertheid regime is ethnicity cleansing our Palestinians.
Shame on you all, history will remember you as coward and corrupt 🤢
