‘US president's Qatar visit further streamlines Gaza mediation efforts'
QNA Doha The US President Donald Trump's visit to Qatar seeks to further bolster the bilateral strategic partnership amid regional and international developments that require close coordination between both sides, Advisor to the Prime Minister and Official Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari said. Talking to Qatar News Agency (QNA), Al Ansari said the US president's visit demonstrates Qatar's key regional and international efforts across a variety of issues, including regional security, energy, and mediation to resolve disputes through peaceful means and diplomatic channels, and highlights the two sides' keenness to reinforce frameworks for dialogue and joint cooperation. The visit agenda will most likely include talks on security and defence cooperation, the Palestinian cause and the Gaza Strip developments, and economic and investment partnerships, he said. Al Ansari voiced hopes that the visit would further advance the joint Qatari-US-Egyptian mediation efforts regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip. He reiterated that enhancing coordination with international partners, especially the United States, is key to helping diplomatic efforts to establish a ceasefire, streamline humanitarian aid access, and ensure the protection of civilians. Al Ansari noted that the State of Qatar is committed to its humanitarian and diplomatic role and continues to work with all parties to achieve a comprehensive and sustainable truce, ensuring the alleviation of the suffering of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip. He added that the US President's visit is an important opportunity to unify efforts and increase international pressure to end the escalation and prepare the conditions for resuming the political process. Al Ansari added that Qatari-US relations represent a successful model of strategic cooperation, as both sides contribute to supporting efforts to achieve calm and peace through joint cooperation and coordination on numerous regional and international issues. This reflects the level of mutual trust and ongoing cooperation between the two countries to achieve global and regional stability. He indicated that the partnership between the State of Qatar and the United States has proven its ability to positively influence the situation through close cooperation within the framework of joint mediation, in addition to ongoing efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, conclude a hostage exchange deal, and end the war. He also explained that the State of Qatar and the United States cooperated closely on the Afghan issue, and this cooperation resulted in significant success in the evacuation operations of approximately 120,000 people. Al Ansari noted that Qatari mediation, in coordination with the United States, played a prominent role in reaching the peace agreement between the United States and the Taliban, signed in Doha in 2020. Highlighting the humanitarian aspect of bilateral relations, he said both sides have collaborated across the spheres of relief, development, education, and health, through partnerships with international organizations, United Nations agencies, and charitable institutions. The two countries share a common vision on the importance of supporting people affected by crises and disasters, he added, highlighting their cooperation to address humanitarian crises around the world and provide aid to communities suffering from conflict, based on established principles of respect for human dignity. Al Ansari added that these values are clearly demonstrated in the close cooperation between the two countries, alongside the Arab Republic of Egypt, through joint mediation aimed at halting the ongoing war on the Gaza Strip, reaching a ceasefire agreement, exchanging hostages, and delivering aid, despite significant challenges. This joint humanitarian role also reflects the depth of the strategic partnership and mutual trust between the two countries, and their commitment to achieving regional and international stability. He added that the State of Qatar can play a pivotal multi-area role in supporting the US' efforts for regional and global peace and stability. He pointed out that the State of Qatar possesses extensive experience in mediation and has successfully mediated a number of regional and international conflicts, making it a reliable partner for the US in facilitating dialogue and building bridges of trust with various parties.

He pointed out that this visit will provide a unique opportunity for the leaders of both countries to discuss ways to end the war in the Gaza Strip, rebuild the Strip, and advance efforts to revive the peace process based on international legitimacy resolutions and the two-state solution, ensuring the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967, borders. Regarding the significance of the visit, he said that Qatar being one of the few stops on President Trump's regional tour carries great political significance, reflecting the US administration's recognition of Qatar as a vital partner in foreign policy and the unprecedented level of trust between the two countries.

He said that President Trump's visit to Doha will contribute to enhancing joint mediation efforts between Qatar, the US, and Egypt to end the war in Gaza, adding that over the past 15 years, Qatar has played a pivotal role in de-escalating tensions caused by Israeli attacks in the occupied Palestinian territories, especially in Gaza, Jerusalem, and the West Bank.
