Qatari FM blames Israel for scuttling US ceasefire efforts
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleQatari Foreign Minister Khalid al-Attiya blames Israel for scuttling US Secretary of State John Kerry’s seven-day humanitarian ceasefire proposal. According to al-Attiya in remarks made to al-Hayat, Israel rejected Kerry’s draft before the discussions between him, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and Palestinian factions were over.
“We were at the conclusion of a positive discussion when Israel announced that it rejected Kerry’s proposal,” al-Attiya says. “The refusal arrived before we reached a final position on the matter.” Al-Attiya says he’ll continue to work with Davutoglu and Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal to reach a ceasefire agreement.
