Doha, Qatar: Advisor to the Prime Minister and Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari has said that Qatar’s mediation process for ceasefire in Gaza does not appear realistic at the moment.

“The process does not appear realistic at the moment especially as the Israeli Prime Minister is seeking to undermine negotiators and bomb the mediating country,” he said yesterday in weekly media briefing.

Al Ansari said that Qatar is currently fully focused on defending its national sovereignty and responding to the treacherous Israeli attack and on taking all necessary measures to prevent recurrence and hold those responsible accountable.

“All other political considerations are secondary to the current situation,” he said. He further said that Qatar understands the United States’ appreciation for its role in mediation and welcomed the broad cooperation between the two countries, not only regarding Gaza but on a global level.

Al Ansari said that the Emergency Arab-Islamic Summit hosted in Doha on Monday to discuss the Israeli aggression on Qatar was a clear indication of a steadfast Arab-Islamic message and solidarity with Qatar.
