Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani says talks on a Gaza ceasefire and the release of captives are at a “sensitive phase.” “The negotiations regarding Gaza are going through some stumbling, and we are trying to overcome this to put an end to the suffering,” Sheikh Mohammed told a news conference. After six months of fighting, there is still no sign of any breakthrough in the negotiations led by Qatar and Egypt to clinch a ceasefire deal in Gaza, as Israel and Hamas stick to their mutually irreconcilable conditions. Sheikh Mohammed said Doha had “warned from the beginning of this war against the expansion […]
Mahjoob Zweiri, director of the Gulf Studies Center at Qatar University, says it’s become apparent to Israel’s Western allies and even within the country that Netanyahu has no interest in reaching a deal “any time soon”. “He wants more time, he wants to go to Rafah, he wants to have something he has failed to achieve so far,” Zweiri told Al Jazeera. “He and the right-wing need individuals, they need names – they talk about [Hamas leaders Yahya] Sinwar and [Mohammed] Deif, and none of this has been achieved.” Zweiri said as long as this continues, the Israeli prime minister’s stance will remain the same out of “self-interest” to preserve […]
