The Qatari ministry of foreign affairs said yesterday that “if the Israelis give up their insistence on continuing the war, an agreement [regarding a ceasefire in Gaza] could be reached within days.”

This statement was made during a weekly press briefing by the Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman, Majed Al-Ansari, and was posted on his X account.

Al-Ansari said: “Starting from the attacks on the land and ending with the ongoing raids on Al-Aqsa Mosque, these continuous attacks indicate Israel’s lack of seriousness in reaching a state of peace.”

“In the event of a change in the Israeli position and if the Israelis give up their insistence on continuing the war, an agreement could be reached within days.”
