IN a recent interview, Qatar’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Mohammed Al Khulaifi said that the country’s role as a mediator is not yet finished and will continue for a better cause, extending beyond the Israel-Hamas truce.
Al Khulaifi was one of Qatar’s lead negotiators who helped secure the temporary ceasefire after months of negotiations with international partners.
The ceasefire took effect on Friday or 48 days after Hamas launched the surprise attack on October 7.
Qatar has played the role of a mediator in the Middle East since the 1990s.
