After nearly a year of ineffective negotiations, Qatar has paused its mediation efforts in Gaza, calling for a genuine commitment from both Israel and Hamas to end the ongoing conflict. This decision reflects the Gulf state's frustration with the lack of progress in achieving a ceasefire and addressing critical issues such as hostage releases. Amidst the devastation in Gaza, Qatar's foreign ministry has made it clear that it seeks a real willingness from both sides to engage in meaningful dialogues.
