Qatar is withdrawing from the ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and Israel, a diplomatic source told AFP. – Qatar has informed both the Israelis and Hamas that as long as they refuse to negotiate an agreement in good faith, they cannot continue to mediate. As a consequence, the political office of Hamas no longer serves its purpose. According to the Israeli broadcaster KAN, Hamas is no longer welcome in Doha, after Hamas rejected the latest proposal for an agreement. They quote a US official as saying that Qatar believes Hamas is refusing to participate in genuine ceasefire and hostage negotiations. A source told Reuters that Qatar is holding off until both parties are willing to return to the negotiating table. Three spokespersons from Hamas have denied that they have been expelled from Qatar, writes the Jerusalem Post. Qatar has played a key role mediating between the parties over the past year.
