Qatar Halts Key Mediation in Israel-Hamas Conflict

Qatar has paused its mediation efforts between Hamas and Israel due to stalled progress. The country may resume negotiations if both parties show significant interest. After the decision, Israel, Hamas, and the U.S. were informed, rendering Hamas' political office in Qatar obsolete.

Qatar has decided to pause its crucial mediation efforts between Israel and Hamas, officials confirmed.

While the move stems from growing frustration over stalled negotiations, Qatar is open to resuming its role if both parties demonstrate genuine political intent to resolve the conflict in Gaza, according to an official.

A diplomatic source revealed that Israel, Hamas, and the United States were notified immediately after the decision, which now leaves the Hamas political office in Qatar without a functional purpose.
