The Qatar Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed in a statement that diplomatic efforts were ongoing to reach a new truce in Gaza.
“Qatar affirmed its ongoing diplomatic efforts to renew the humanitarian pause and expressed hope for building upon the progress made to accomplish a comprehensive and sustainable agreement that would end the war, stop the bloodshed of our Palestinian brethren, and lead to serious negotiations and the launch of a political process that yields a comprehensive, permanent, and just peace in accordance with international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative,” the ministry said in a statement.
A seven-day truce between Israel and Hamas – mediated by Qatar – failed to be renewed on December 1.
