"KAIRO - Qatar continues to strive to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, They believe dialogue is the best way to deal with the most complex conflict," said Qatar Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani.

The statement criticized international public doubles standards for failing to stop Israeli attacks on the trapped enclave, which is also widening the gap between the West and East.

The current crisis in Gaza clearly shows the gap between the East and the West, and between successive generations, as well as the dual standards of the international community, Al Thani said in a speech at the opening of the 21st Doha Forum in the capital Qatar, according to QNA's official news agency.

"History has taught us that dialogue is the best way to deal with the most complex conflict if there are wise political will and leadership," he said as quoted by Anadolu.

Qatar, along with Egypt and the US, led the mediation during the Israeli war that had been going on since October 7, 2023. MediaQatar managed to produce a humanitarian pause deal that lasted for a week until December 1.

Emir Qatari Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani opened the Doha Forum which lasted for two days. The Forum was attended by heads of state, government, and regional and international organizations, including UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

The forum with the theme Building a Joint Future discusses various crises, especially the development of the situation in Gaza.
