An Israeli operation in the Gaza Strip's southern city of Rafah would result in major destruction and "atrocities" that have not been seen in the war, Qatar's foreign ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari said on Tuesday. Qatar is cautiously optimistic about the Gaza cease-fire talks, he added during a press conference in Doha.
It should be noted that Qatar has been financing the Hamas for many years. Doha hosts the political bureau of the Islamist organization.
The Emirates would be better off convincing the Hamas to lay down their arms to stop the war.
U.S. President Donald Trump's senior envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to visit Israel for meetings with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel's military chief, two senior Israeli officials said on Monday.
U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the Gaza war was given a boost on Monday with the reopening of the enclave's Rafah crossing with Egypt. But difficult questions remain unaddressed, including whether Hamas will disarm.
Israel reopened the border between Gaza and Egypt on Monday for a limited number of people on foot, allowing a small number of Palestinians to leave the enclave and some of those who escaped the war to return for the first time.
