Qatar PM says his country will continue to play 'diplomatic role' for peace
Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani has assured the U.N. Security Council that his country would continue its "diplomatic" role in mediating a ceasefire in Gaza.
"We will continue our humanitarian and diplomatic role without any hesitation, in order to stop the bloodshed," he told the U.N. body on Thursday, after earlier suggesting a reassessment of his country's mediation efforts following the Israeli strikes in Doha.

Qatar's prime minister said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "killed any hope" of releasing hostages still held in the Gaza Strip after Israel attacked Hamas leaders in Doha.
The comments from Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, ahead of appearing at the United Nations on Thursday, underscored the wider anger among Gulf Arab countries over Israel's strike that killed at least six people.
