Qatar's Prime Minister: We Do Not Yet Know Hamas's Response and It Requires Factional Consensus

SadaNews - Qatar's Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani, confirmed that Doha delivered U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to the Hamas negotiating delegation "and the discussions with them were general."

The Qatari Prime Minister explained in an interview with Qatari channel "Al Jazeera" that Doha "hopes everyone will view the plan constructively and seize the opportunity to end the war," pointing out that "as of now, we do not know Hamas's response to the plan, which requires consensus among the factions."

He added that "Trump's plan achieves a key objective of ending the war, and there are issues within it that need clarification and negotiation," emphasizing that Doha and Cairo "made clear to Hamas during our meeting yesterday our main goal of stopping the war."

He noted that "what was proposed yesterday are principles in the plan that need discussion on their details and how to operate through them."
The Qatari Prime Minister affirmed that "Arab and Islamic countries have put their efforts into ensuring the Palestinians remain in their land and reaching a two-state solution," and that "the current phase is important and is part of negotiations that are not expected to be framed in ideal terms."

He also called for the need to build on the current path and make it effective and successful.

The Qatari Prime Minister stated that the Palestinian administration in Gaza is mentioned in the plan and will be discussed with Washington, and this does not concern Israel.

He added: The plan is still in its early stages and needs to be developed, and we are trying to create a path that preserves the rights of the Palestinians.

He continued: If the plan is accepted, Arab and Islamic countries are welcome to participate in supporting the Palestinians.

He indicated that Egypt and Turkey participated in today's meetings with the Palestinians to reach the best solutions.
