The national flag of Qatar

Qatar has stepped back from its role as a crucial mediator in a Gaza ceasefire and hostage agreement, cautioning Hamas that its Doha office is no longer effective, according to a diplomatic source who spoke to AFP on Saturday.

The source, who requested anonymity, revealed that Qatar informed both Israel and Hamas that it could no longer mediate as long as there was a refusal to negotiate in good faith. Consequently, the Hamas political office in Doha is deemed to have lost its purpose.
