Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani speaks by phone with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi about the Gaza Strip, according to the Qatari readout of the conversation.
The two discuss “developments in the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestinian territories in light of the ceasefire agreement in the Strip, in addition to a number of issues of mutual interest,” says the Qatari Foreign Ministry.
Al-Thani, who is also Qatar’s foreign minister, stresses “the importance of concerted regional and international efforts to ensure the full implementation of the agreement, paving the way toward achieving sustainable peace and the desired stability in the region.”
Qatar is a US ally and has been a key mediator between Israel and Hamas throughout the two years of war in Gaza, including by acting as a broker of the current ceasefire. It has also hosted Hamas’s leadership. Iran is Israel’s chief regional adversary. Israel and Iran fought a 12-day air war in June, with the US joining Israel’s campaign at the end of the war.
