Qatar Halts Mediation in Israel-Hamas Talks, May Expel Hamas Office

Qatar has suspended its mediation role in talks between Israel and Hamas, citing a lack of good faith negotiations from both sides. Qatar, which has hosted Hamas' political office since 2012, decided to halt its efforts after concluding that the mediation had become more about politics than achieving peace. The decision follows stalled negotiations and ongoing conflict, with Qatar expressing willingness to resume mediation if both parties show genuine intent to negotiate. Israel's response has been critical, accusing Qatar of supporting Hamas.
