Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced the suspension of its mediation efforts for a ceasefire in Gaza, criticizing both Israel and Hamas for a lack of good faith in negotiations. Commentary from international relations expert Gabriel Charitos suggests that this decision came as no surprise. Speculations are growing about Egypt training Palestinian Authority police to maintain order in post-war Gaza, an initiative reportedly supported by the Biden administration. With Donald Trump set to take office soon, there are doubts about Israel’s cooperation with current U.S. efforts to establish a ceasefire.
