Advisor to Minister of Foreign Affairs Highlights Qatar’s Mediation Efforts at 10th MED Mediterranean Dialogues.

Rome: Advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari participated Wednesday in a discussion session within the 10th MED Mediterranean Dialogues Conference. During his intervention in a session entitled reshaping global governance: starting with the Middle East and North Africa, Dr. Al Ansari highlighted the State of Qatar's welcome of the ceasefire deal in the Lebanese Republic and its hopes that it will lead to a similar agreement to stop the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip and the Israeli attacks on the occupied West Bank. According to Qatar News Agency, Dr. Al Ansari added that the agreement is a success for international cooperation and gives hope for restoring confidence in the global system. He underscored the State of Qatar's mediation efforts as a strategic political option both regionally and globally, highlighting in this regard Doha's November 2023 mediation efforts to hammer out a humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip. This agreement led to a temporary ceasefire in the enclave, the release of 240 Palestinian prisoners and 109 detainees in Gaza, and an increase in relief shipments. Dr. Al Ansari stressed the State of Qatar's firm belief in the importance of joint cooperation and collective action with the countries of the region, the European Union, and the United Nations to foster regional and international peace and stability.
