Ammon News - Three officials from the Hamas resistance movement rejected claims that Qatar had notified the movement's leaders they were no longer welcomed in the nation.
This followed a statement from a US official indicating that "the United States notified Qatar that Hamas's presence in Doha is no longer permitted," as reported by Reuters.
An unnamed senior US official stated, “We communicated this to Qatar following Hamas’s refusal of another prisoner release proposal weeks back,” as reported by Reuters today, Saturday.
He asserted that Doha had asked the Hamas leaders for this about ten days prior, a fact that was corroborated by three Hamas officials.
This remark emerged at a moment when President Joe Biden's administration is gearing up for a final attempt to end the conflict in Gaza and Lebanon.
