"United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has told reporters that Qatar is the only country to mediate an end to Israel's war on Gaza, as he departed Israel on his way to the Qatari capital, where Gulf states on Monday pledged to activate the joint defence pact as Arab and Islamic leaders stood in solidarity following Israel's brazen attack on the Hamas leadership inside the country."
"We want them to know that if there's any country in the world that could help end this through a negotiation, it's Qatar, he said. But, Rubio warned that time was getting shorter to secure a deal as Israel intensified its pulverising attack on Gaza City, killing dozens in the urban centre daily and destroying numerous residential buildings, as it pushes forward with plans to seize the territory."
"But, Rubio warned that time was getting shorter to secure a deal as Israel intensified its pulverising attack on Gaza City, killing dozens in the urban centre daily and destroying numerous residential buildings, as it pushes forward with plans to seize the territory. The Israelis have begun to take operations there. So we think we have a very short window of time in which a deal can happen."
Qatar is the only country mediating efforts to end Israel's war on Gaza. Gulf states pledged to activate a joint defence pact as Arab and Islamic leaders showed solidarity following Israel's attack on Hamas leadership. Qatar called the Israeli attack cowardly and treacherous, making its continued mediation contingent on its willingness to remain involved. Israel intensified a pulverising assault on Gaza City, killing dozens daily and destroying numerous residential buildings while pushing to seize the territory. The negotiating window is very short, with days or weeks available to secure a deal that would include Hamas demilitarisation.
