Qatar is continuing work to repair the collapsed ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, and pressing for a comprehensive end to the war in Gaza, its leader says. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani told Gulf leaders earlier:
Quote Message: We are constantly working to renew [the deal] and to alleviate the burden of our people in the Gaza Strip, but truces are not an alternative for a comprehensive ceasefire."
We are constantly working to renew [the deal] and to alleviate the burden of our people in the Gaza Strip, but truces are not an alternative for a comprehensive ceasefire."
Qatar has been leading negotiations between the two sides, which led to a week-long ceasefire until Friday.
Since the agreement ended - with both sides blaming each other for its collapse - Israel has intensified its attacks on the Gaza Strip as part of its ultimate goal to wipe out Hamas.
