Qatar has welcomed a truce for Gaza after three days of Israeli bombing, saying it was the result of “active diplomacy”.
The Egypt-brokered truce, supported by Qatar and the UN, has ended a horrific air campaign by Israel that resulted in at least 43 Palestinians being killed, including 15 children.
It is hoped by those involved in the truce that it will end Israeli violence in the besieged Palestinian enclave.
“This agreement should not be broken in any way to ensure an appropriate amount of time where parties can work at the diplomatic level to avoid an escalation,” Majed al-Ansari, spokesman of the Qatari foreign ministry, told The New Arab.
“I believe that what we are see[ing] now … is the result of active diplomacy — not just on the part of Qatar, but at the regional and international level — aimed at stopping this aggression as soon as possible.”
