What the withdrawal means: Qatar and its balancing act in the Gaza conflict

Date:

Qatar was seen as a key player in the mediation between Israel and Hamas, providing a neutral platform and facilitating important negotiations. But now the emirate has given up its role. What is behind the withdrawal of a country that is navigating between diplomacy, self-interest and geopolitical pressure?

Since the start of the war, Qatar, along with Egypt, has proven to be an important mediator between Israel and Hamas. Marathon meetings were held in air-conditioned rooms in the capital Doha with representatives of Hamas and the Palestinians, and messages from the Biden administration were delivered to the terrorist organization.

Qatar also cooperates extensively with the Israelis, although the two countries do not maintain formal diplomatic relations. Why did the country stop playing its role as a mediator? And why did it accept it in the first place?
