Qatar Pauses Role as Mediator in Gaza Cease-Fire Talks, Citing Deadlock

Qatar, a key mediator between Israel and Hamas, announced on Saturday night that it had paused its efforts to broker a cease-fire between the two sides to end the war in Gaza, citing the deadlock in talks.

Earlier, Qatari officials also told Hamas political leaders they were no longer welcome in the country because of the stalled state of negotiations, U.S. and Israeli officials said over the weekend. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive negotiations.

Mr. al-Ansari did not directly comment on the claim about Hamas’s presence in the country. Before the ministry’s statement was issued, an official familiar with the matter said that Qatar had decided that the political office maintained by Hamas in the capital, Doha, no longer served its purpose because of the stalled negotiations.
