Qatar PM: Hamas leader's death affects mediation

Qatar's prime minister said on Sunday that the killing of a Hamas leader by an Israeli drone strike in Beirut last week had affected Doha's ability to mediate between the Palestinian group and Israel.

However, the Gulf state would continue its efforts, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said in a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Doha.
