Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani tells Al Jazeera that Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza, as described in the White House plan to end the war, requires “clarification and discussion.”

He adds, however, that ending the war is “a clear clause in the plan.”

He also says that a postwar government of Gaza is mentioned in the plan, and this will be a matter for discussion with the Americans, but “has nothing to do with Israel.”

“The plan is in its early stages and needs development. We are trying to create a path that safeguards Palestinian rights,” he adds.
