Qatar's Foreign Minister reveals details of the ceasefire negotiations taking place in Doha.

Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani confirmed on Tuesday that the rounds of negotiations held over the past few weeks regarding the war on the Gaza Strip have not led to any significant progress due to the deep gap between the negotiating parties.

"One side is seeking a comprehensive agreement, while the other is clinging to a partial agreement, which has prevented the gap between them from being bridged so far," he said.

The Qatari minister emphasized that "the only way to end the war in Gaza is through negotiations," noting that this conviction has been entrenched in his country over the course of a year and a half of continuous efforts, despite what he described as "political games" that have sabotaged those efforts.

He added, "Since the beginning of the Gaza war, we have tried to mediate an agreement that would end the fighting and return the hostages to their families. We believed that releasing Idan Alexander would be a step toward ending the tragedy, but the response was violent bombing."

The Qatari Prime Minister reiterated that Doha is continuing its efforts with both Egypt and the United States to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza, noting that Qatar will not back down despite "all attempts at blackmail and accusations," and will continue to strive to achieve stability and peace in the region.

The minister addressed the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, stressing that "Gaza is subjected to a stifling blockade, while irresponsible statements are made about the situation there." He added that "the Israeli government continues its violations in Gaza and acts with impunity," considering that "Israel's behavior in Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, and Lebanon is intolerable."

Concluding his remarks, he stressed that the war in Gaza will only end through diplomatic means, and that "resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict is the key to stability in the region, which requires strong leadership capable of making historic decisions."
