Qatar stated on Tuesday there was no justification to end the presence of an office for Hamas in Doha , meanwhile, its mediation efforts persist regarding a ceasefire agreement to end Israeli war on Gaza.
In a press conference, Foreign ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari added that Qatar remained committed to mediation, but was reassessing its role in “frustration with attacks” on its efforts, referring to “negative” comments made about Qatar’s role by Israeli ministers of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government.
In regard, the Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan was quoted by media as saying that he does not believe the Palestinian movement of Hamas will leave Qatar, where some of its leadership is based, adding he had seen no such signs from Doha either.
Speaking to reporters on a return flight from Iraq, Erdogan also said the full capture of Gaza by Israel would “open the door” for further invasions of Palestinian territories, according to broadcaster Haberturk and other media outlets.
Qatar has hosted a Hamas political office since 2012, with the agreement of the United States, and has long played a mediator role between Israelis and Palestinians.
