Qatar’s Role in Middle East Mediation: Debunking Allegations and Emphasizing Commitment to Diplomacy

Watan-Recently, allegations have surfaced that Qatar will expel the leadership of the Hamas movement under American pressure, and that arrangements and discussions are underway within the movement for its leadership to exit Doha.

Allegations of Expulsion of Hamas Leadership from Qata

Regarding these claims, the prominent Qatari Twitter user “Buganem” stated that the intelligence media of the Zionist entity, along with those who orbit in their sphere, are changing the narrative from Hamas considering a move from Qatar to Turkey, to Qatar expelling Hamas and giving them a specified period.

In a tweet on his official account on the “X” platform, he considered that the goal is to pressure both Qatar and Hamas, aiming to confuse the situation and exploit the news as a victory for the Netanyahu administration.

The Wall Street Journal claimed in a report that the political leadership of Hamas is in communication with Oman and another country to discuss leaving Qatar, following pressure from American lawmakers, in order to make progress in negotiations regarding a deal to release Israeli detainees in exchange for a ceasefire in Gaza.

The newspaper quoted Arab officials as saying that in recent days, the movement has been in contact with at least two countries in the region, one of them being Oman, regarding whether they are open to the idea of their political leaders relocating to their capitals.

The newspaper also noted that Hamas leaving Qatar could thwart sensitive talks to achieve a ceasefire and release dozens of Israelis detained in Gaza. It could also make it difficult for Israel and the United States to communicate messages to the movement, which Washington classifies as a “terrorist organization.”

A source told the American newspaper, “The talks have already stopped again with no signs or possibilities of resuming them in the near future, and the lack of trust is increasing between Hamas and the negotiators.”

Responding to these allegations, sources said that these reports are completely untrue and that they have not discussed the issue of relocating their political leadership in Qatar to another country under any kind of pressure.

Qatar hints at abandoning mediation between Hamas and Israel

Qatar, alongside the United States and Egypt, is leading mediation efforts in the negotiations between the Israeli occupation and Hamas to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, including a prisoner exchange process.

However, Doha is facing an unprecedented attack from prominent Israeli officials, especially from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

In response, Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani condemned “unacceptable exploitation and abuse” and “political bidding by some politicians for their electoral campaigns by insulting Qatar’s role.”

He affirmed that Qatar “will take the appropriate decision at the right time” regarding continuing or halting mediation efforts.
