H.E. Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani affirmed the State of Qatar's commitment, since the beginning of the war on Gaza, to the negotiation process to release hostages and their safe return and to end this war and this attack on the Gaza Strip.

During a joint press conference held this evening with H.E. Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain Dr. Pedro Sanchez, who is visiting the country, His Excellency explained that there are some statements against the State of Qatar and the role it plays in reaching a truce and ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, stressing that Qatar is a mediator and not a party to this conflict, and it spares no effort to facilitate, build bridges, and present innovative solutions with the aim of reaching an agreement.

He added that the responsibility lies with the two parties only, and Qatar is not the one controlling the negotiation elements, but it spares no effort and does everything in its power to keep these negotiations on the appropriate track and provide a solution. Both Qatar and Egypt played a fundamental role and guaranteed the release of a large number of hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners. We remain committed to this process and are trying to find the appropriate opportunity to bridge the gap, end this war, and ensure the safe return of the hostages. We do not see any other way to achieve these results other than negotiations and discussions.
