Qatar resumes Gaza ceasefire mediation

Qatar has announced it has resumed mediating Gaza ceasefire negotiations after a pause of nearly a month.

The state's prime minister, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, announced at the Doha Forum that Qatar decided to re-enter the talks following renewed momentum in the negotiations after Donald Trump was elected US president.

This comes after Qatar suspended mediation efforts nearly a month ago due to what it called a lack of "seriousness" on the part of the parties involved in negotiations.
