Doha, Qatar: The participants of a high-level session, ‘Mediation in a time of fragmentation,’ lauded Qatar’s mediation efforts for the resolution of conflicts in the region and beyond.

“Broad discussions are currently underway regarding the formation of an international stabilisation force to be deployed in the Gaza Strip... we should be realistic on the mandate of this force... the joint force faces major challenges in its establishment, including the countries contributing troops, the command structure, logistical arrangements, and many other agreed-upon details.”
