Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
"Qatar informed Israel and Hamas 10 days ago that if an agreement on the hostage deal is not reached in the upcoming round of negotiations, Qatar will suspend its mediation efforts. Qatar has made it clear that it will resume its mediation efforts only if the parties show seriousness and sincerity in ending the war in Gaza. The negotiations we brokered were used as a cover for the continuation of the war for narrow political needs"
