Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed Abdulrahman al-Thani says Doha is continuing its efforts to try and secure a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal.

He insists in remarks at the UN conference promoting a two-state solution that mediators Qatar, Egypt, and the US have had success, referencing two previous agreements they brokered that saw the release of hostages and a surge of aid in Gaza.

“Despite multiple obstacles and attempts to block humanitarian aid and to demonize the mediators, we continue in our path toward a permanent ceasefire to end the crisis and to start the reconstruction and recovery effort for,” al-Thani says.
