Rafah strikes could ‘hinder’ Gaza truce talks: mediator Qatar

Israel’s latest strikes on a displaced people’s camp near Gaza’s southern city of Rafah could hinder talks towards a truce and hostage release deal, mediator nation Qatar said according to AFP.

The foreign ministry voiced “concern that the bombing will complicate ongoing mediation efforts and hinder reaching an agreement for an immediate and permanent ceasefire”.

Qatar condemned the Israeli bombing as a “dangerous violation of international law”.

The foreign ministry called on the international community to act urgently to prevent Israel from “implementing its plans to forcibly displace (Palestinians) from the city, which has become a final refuge for hundreds of thousands” of people.
