Qatar Suspends Mediation Efforts in Gaza Ceasefire Over Stalled Negotiations

Qatar Pauses Mediation Efforts in Gaza Ceasefire Talks Due to Lack of Progress

Qatar announced on Saturday that it has halted its mediation efforts between Israel and Hamas for a Gaza ceasefire, citing a lack of good-faith negotiations from both parties.

Majed Al-Ansari, spokesperson for Qatar’s Foreign Ministry, stated that Qatar informed both parties 10 days ago that if they couldn’t reach an agreement, it would suspend its mediation. “The State of Qatar notified the parties during the last attempts to reach an agreement that it would stall its efforts to mediate between Hamas and Israel if an agreement was not reached in that round,” Al-Ansari said.

Qatar has played a central role in mediation for over a year, working to secure a ceasefire and arrange a hostage release deal—an objective highly prioritized by U.S. President Joe Biden. However, despite months of negotiations, both goals remain unresolved.

As part of its decision, Qatar has also closed Hamas’ political office in Doha. According to a diplomatic source familiar with the matter, Doha suspended the office about a week ago due to the stalled negotiations and lack of genuine willingness to engage from both sides. “The office won’t be operational, so [Hamas] may leave. The office could open again if talks restart,” the diplomat said. Although Hamas officials may leave Qatar, they have not been given a specific deadline.

U.S. and Qatari sources confirmed that the U.S. recently requested Qatar take this step, but a Qatari diplomatic source emphasized that the decision was made independently, not due to external pressure.

In response to media inquiries, the White House National Security Council declined to comment. However, a senior U.S. administration official had remarked on Friday, “After rejecting repeated proposals to release hostages, [Hamas] leaders should no longer be welcome in the capitals of any American partner.” The official praised Qatar’s past efforts in mediation, especially for helping secure the release of nearly 200 hostages last year, but expressed frustration at Hamas’ refusal to release any hostages in recent talks in Cairo.

A Hamas representative dismissed reports of their potential expulsion from Qatar as “baseless” and a “pressure tactic.”

Qatar’s decision to pause its mediator role follows recent tensions, including the death of Israeli-American hostage Hersh Goldberg-Polin and Hamas’ rejection of another ceasefire proposal. The Hamas office in Doha may reopen if both parties return to the negotiating table with genuine intent to reach a peace agreement.

Earlier in April, Qatar had temporarily closed the Hamas office, leading officials to relocate to Turkey. At that time, requests from the Biden administration and Israel prompted Qatar to reopen the office to support renewed discussions.
