Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized the need for cooperation in commercial and economic fields amid escalating violence in Gaza and Lebanon. The Emir reiterated Qatar's commitment to mediating an end to the war in Gaza, highlighting the dire humanitarian situation caused by Israeli aggression. Qatar, which has historically maintained relations with Hamas, Israel, and the U.S., plays a crucial role in regional diplomacy, having sent billions in aid to Gaza. However, tensions have risen following the Hamas attacks on October 7, leading Israel to scrutinize Qatar's financial support for Hamas. As regional dynamics shift, Qatar's unique position allows it to communicate with all parties involved, maintaining its relevance as a mediator. The Emir has warned that the escalating conflict could spill over into Lebanon, stressing the urgency of stabilizing the region.
