    Mahjoob Zweiri “What we have witnessed in the past few hours is that they talk about an agreement on the first stage. It could be understood that Hamas wants to release itself from the pressure globally, including the United States. So, they are giving concessions on the first stage, which leads to 40 days of ceasefire and exchange of captives. I think 33 old and sick captives. And then moving on to other stages. But we are seeing that we are going back to the main conditions, which means we are still talking about the main principles [complete ceasefire and withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza] that Hamas talked about. As the time of some sort of agreement on the first stage came, the Israeli military and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came to say actually, there is no agreement: We will go to Rafah regardless of any agreement. It reflects the divisions within the Israelis and crisis within the Israeli politics. On the other hand, Hamas has been more cautious. They do not want to show real progress made but they also do not want to say things have not changed. I think it's obvious some change has happened otherwise we would not expect [CIA chief] William Burns to be in the region.” 10 hours ago

“They [Arab allies - Jordan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia] wanted integration with Israel - also a long-term Israeli aim - but only if that included a practical pathway to a Palestinian state. I think there are actually real opportunities. But we have to ... ensure that October 7 can never happen again and work to build a much different and much better future.”

“Khamenei told the emir [Qatar's emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani] we have always said the negotiations must yield results, not waste time, and the Americans know what they need to do regarding this. It is very clear from the context of the leader's remarks that the ball is in the US court, which must make wise political decisions to fulfill its obligations.”

“Based on data from Denmark, the first country where BA.2 overtook BA.1, there appears to be no difference in disease severity, although BA.2 has the potential to replace BA.1 globally. Looking at other countries where BA.2 is now overtaking, we're not seeing any higher bumps in hospitalization than expected. The subvariant is already becoming dominant in the Philippines, Nepal, Qatar, India and Denmark. Vaccination is profoundly protective against severe disease, including for Omicron. BA.2 is rapidly replacing BA.1. Its impact is unlikely to be substantial, although more data are needed.”

“We share with Qatar the understanding that some operational engagement with the interim government is necessary, but without granting them any legitimacy. This engagement has to be conditional on progress made by the Taliban along the five benchmarks that we defined back in September.”

“The recent actions that we have seen unfortunately in Afghanistan, it has been very disappointing to see some steps being taken backwards. We need to keep engaging them and urging them not to take such actions, and we have also been trying to demonstrate for the Taliban how Muslim countries can conduct their laws, how they can deal with the women's issues. One of the examples is the State of Qatar, which is a Muslim country; our system is an Islamic system [but] we have women outnumbering men in workforces, in government and in higher education.”

“This is not a regime with whom we should consider re-establishing diplomatic relations. The recent rapprochement by the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Qatar is something that we should approach with a great deal of concern. There can be no peace, stability or reconciliation without a process aimed at justice and accountability. We have failed the Syrian people over the past decade. Let us not paper over the cracks of instability and injustice with a final act of abandonment.”

“The meeting [with Qatar Foreign Minister Mohammad bin Al-Thani] focused on bilateral relations, humanitarian assistance, economic development and interaction with the world. The Doha agreement was a landmark achievement, all sides should adhere to its implementation.”

“If we are starting to put conditions and stopping this engagement, we are going to leave a vacuum, and the question is, who is going to fill this vacuum? We believe that without engagement we cannot reach … real progress on the security front or on the socioeconomic front. It is our role to always urge them (the Taliban) to have an expanded government that includes all parties and not to exclude any party. During our talks with the Taliban, there was no positive or negative response.”

“The fact that we managed to bring rival countries together on the same table and initiate dialogue between them is not only important to them and us but to the whole region.”

“It is absolutely fundamental to discard the polarised lenses and partisanship when discussing the UAE announcement of open ties with Israel. The problem is deeper than just the UAE. A holistic approach to the topic reveals that this latest development is the culmination of decades of Gulf-wide taboo breaking from Qatar embracing Israel and Al-Udeid, Bahrain hosting Kushner to present his Deal of the Century, Oman receiving Netanyahu to threaten UAE, and UAE brokering meetings for Netanyahu with Sudan's AbdulFattah Burhan. Otherwise they are bound by geostrategic realities to cooperate with their larger neighbours whether they be Saudi Arabia, Egypt, or Iran.”
