Al-Ansari: Netanyahu’s demand that Qatar pressure Hamas is aimed at prolonging the war. The spokesman added that the humanitarian truce that freed 109 detainees proved that negotiation is the only solution to return them and end the escalation.

He also confirmed that Qatar was continuing with mediation efforts and not paying attention to statements that he said were aimed at escaping the political crises of the Israeli Prime Minister. He called on Netanyahu to focus on negotiations in a way that serves the security of the region and ends the ongoing tragedy.
