Ammon News - Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari has criticised some Israeli ministers for accusing Qatar of “ulterior motives” in Gaza war negotiations.

“We have deep frustration with such statements especially from Israeli officials familiar with our mediation efforts and humanitarian work in Gaza,” he said.

“Attacking the mediator does not show commitment. And this is what we are getting from our Israeli counterparts. We’ve been accused of having ulterior motives. This is simply untrue. Mediation is the only way to end this conflict – to end the massacre in Gaza and return the Israeli captives. Without belief in the process itself, I feel it will be very difficult for the mediators to accomplish a result.”

Al-Ansari added: “As long as Qatar’s mediation efforts continue, there is no justification for the end [of] the presence of the Hamas political bureau in Doha. This office was opened – in coordination with the United States – for the purpose of mediation between both sides. As of now, nothing has changed in that regard.”
