Qatar’s prime minister on Wednesday said his country was reviewing its involvement as a mediator in the Gaza truce talks, after Israel launched an unprecedented strike on Doha targeting Hamas.
“I’ve been rethinking, even about the entire process for the last few weeks, that (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu was just wasting our time,” Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said in comments cited in CNN’s live blog after an interview with the broadcaster.
Doha is “reassessing everything” around their involvement in future ceasefire talks and discussing next steps with Washington, he added.
