DOHA: Qatar said it was set to hold talks with Hamas negotiators and Turkiye Tuesday to discuss US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, with a foreign ministry spokesman saying Hamas would study it “responsibly”.
“The (Hamas) negotiating delegation promised to study it responsibly,” Majed al-Ansari, Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesman, told a press conference. He added: “there will also be another meeting today, also attended by the Turkish side, with the negotiating delegation.”
During the press conference, al-Ansari also said the United States had given security assurances to Qatar and Israel promised not to attack it again in a phone call the previous day.
“The security assurances and the commitments that were offered in the call yesterday (Monday) by President Trump and the Israeli prime minister (Benjamin Netanyahu) were very clear and were under the guarantee of the US president that Qatar will never be attacked,” he said.
“We are content with the security assurances that we have received,” he said, adding there had also been “a commitment by Israel not to attack Qatar again in its capacity or otherwise.”
