He added that the roundtable, organized by the Embassy of the State of Qatar to the UK today, addressed the State of Qatar's leading mediation and conflict resolution roles, especially amid the mounting challenges due to Middle East conflicts, and Qatar's efforts to boost regional and international stability. Detailing the joint mediation efforts to end the war on the Gaza Strip, His Excellency said that the State of Qatar faced challenges to reach a permanent ceasefire deal, protect civilians, increase humanitarian aid to the Palestinian people, and release prisoners and detainees, in a way that averts regional escalation consequences.
