What Does Qatar's Suspension Of Mediation Mean For The Gaza War?

Description

Negotiations on Gaza need a broker and "I can't see how that would be anyone else", Andreas Krieg, a senior lecturer at King's College London.

The talks are "now in a situation where there is no negotiation process anymore", he added.

Krieg said Hamas now appeared to be in "limbo" and that demands were mounting for an expulsion in "a fairly short window of maybe a few weeks", with the most likely destination being Iran.

Turkey has been touted as a new host but the NATO member is unlikely to want to upset the United States, Krieg added.

"This is primarily about... signalling to the world, we are mediating, we're happy to continue mediating, but we're also willing to put all the weight, all the leverage that we have over Hamas," Krieg said.
