Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said that 'Israeli strikes in Gaza are harming chances for peace. We thought Idan Alexander's release would end the tragedy in Gaza, but the response was violent strikes.' According to him, 'Since the war began, we tried to reach an agreement. Negotiations for prisoner exchanges are often damaged by political games.' He also addressed U.S. President Donald Trump's visit to the Middle East, saying 'it was special. We are pleased that the region is a top priority for the Trump administration.'
