Doha: Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr. Majed bin Mohammad Al Ansari reaffirmed Qatar's commitment to sparing children from the horrors of war, regardless of their religious or ethnic backgrounds, emphasizing the necessity for the international community to consider the situation in Gaza from this perspective.

During the Foreign Ministry's weekly media briefing, Dr. Al Ansari highlighted that the number of children dying in Gaza exceeds that of any conflict in past decades. He stressed their need for international cooperation to understand the suffering resulting from this prolonged conflict and the daily tragedies they endure, adding that there is a generation of orphans suffering from the consequences of this war and they must be cared for and spared the scourge of this humanitarian catastrophe and its aftermath.

He pointed out a prevailing sense of frustration, not only among mediators but also across the international community, due to the failure to reach an agreement during Ramadan or Eid Al Fitr to alleviate the suffering of Palestinian brethren.

He explained that Qatar is currently reassessing this phase of mediation efforts and has expressed displeasure on several occasions regarding continuous and fabricated attacks on mediators, especially Doha, despite its commitment to play a significant role in achieving a positive outcome that halts the war machine.

He highlighted Qatar's success in brokering a 7-day ceasefire, during which prisoners were exchanged between the Palestinian and Israeli sides.
