Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Qatar has confirmed its decision to suspend mediation efforts in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, following frustrations over a lack of constructive engagement. This shift comes after the U.S. requested the expulsion of Hamas leaders, citing their refusal to negotiate. With over 44,000 Palestinians dead and continuous violence, Qatar has deemed its role ineffective and expressed a willingness to return only if both parties demonstrate genuine interest in negotiations. The political future of Hamas leadership in Qatar remains uncertain as mediation efforts stall.
