BREAKING
Global Sumud Flotilla: Another boat has been hit in a suspected drone attack; no injuries reported
Brigadier General Saree: The operation successfully achieved its goal and caused millions to flee to shelters.
Yemeni Armed Forces: We attacked several targets around occupied al-Quds with a Palestine 2 hypersonic ballistic missile with cluster warheads.
Hamas: We hold the US administration jointly responsible with the occupation for this crime due to its constant support for the aggression and crimes of the occupation against our people.
Hamas: Targeting the negotiating delegation while it was discussing the US president's proposal confirms that Netanyahu and his government do not want to reach any agreement.
Hamas: We call for urgent action to pressure the occupation to stop the war of genocide and ethnic cleansing and to achieve justice for our Palestinian people.
Hamas: The crime proved that the Zionist occupation is a threat to the region and the world, and that Netanyahu is trying to erase our national cause and the rights of our people.
Hamas: We confirm the enemy's failure to assassinate our brothers in the negotiating delegation, while several of our martyred brothers have ascended to the highest ranks of glory.
Hamas: The crime once again reveals the criminal nature of the occupation and its desire to undermine any chances of reaching an agreement.
Hamas: The crime represented an aggression against the sovereignty of the sisterly State of Qatar, which, along with sisterly Egypt, is playing an important and responsible role in sponsoring the mediation.

Qatar has resumed its role as a mediator in the ongoing efforts to broker a ceasefire amid the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip following a brief pause, according to a source familiar with the discussions.

Alongside the United States and Egypt, Qatar had previously been involved in several months of unsuccessful negotiations aimed at securing a truce and facilitating the release of hostages, after nearly 14 months of war.

The source, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the talks, confirmed that Qatar is once again engaged in mediation, but did not provide further details on any recent meetings.

Earlier, on November 9, Qatar announced that it withdrew from its role as a primary mediator in ceasefire and prisoner swap negotiations between the Israeli occupation and Hamas, citing a lack of genuine commitment to negotiation, a diplomatic source informed AFP on Saturday.

Qatar, along with the United States and Egypt, had been working for months to broker a truce that would include the release of captives and detainees, but these efforts have yet to yield progress.

"The Qataris informed both the Israelis and Hamas that as long as there is a refusal to negotiate a deal in good faith, they cannot continue to mediate," the source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. As a result, Qatar conveyed to Hamas that its political office in Doha "no longer serves its purpose."

Qatar’s decision has been officially communicated to both the Israeli occupation and Hamas, as well as to the US administration. The source noted that Qatar was open to re-engaging in mediation if both parties demonstrated a sincere commitment to returning to negotiations.

Hamas' political bureau in Qatar, however, had not "received any request from the authorities to leave the country," a senior source in the movement told the Russian Ria Novosti.

“We have nothing to confirm or deny regarding what was published by an unidentified diplomatic source and we have not received any request to leave Qatar,” the official said from Doha, after a diplomatic source told AFP.
