At the Doha Forum on December 7, 2025, Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani advocated for inclusive engagement with all parties, including non-state actors like Hamas, as crucial for achieving regional peace. He stated that resolving conflicts requires communication with these groups. Sheikh Mohammed clarified that Qatar's relationship with Hamas, including hosting their office since 2012, was initially established at the US's request to facilitate communication, ceasefires, and aid to Gaza. He also addressed concerns about aid to Gaza, asserting that all funds are transparently directed to the Palestinian people, with the US and Israel aware of the process. The Prime Minister emphasized that this communication has led to positive outcomes, such as ceasefires and hostage releases.
