Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari stated that "Doha is actively involved in efforts to reach an agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue. There are serious intentions by the US to push for renewed negotiations on Gaza, but there are complications." According to him, "There are no talks regarding Gaza, but contacts are being maintained to find a formula for returning to negotiations. We see positive language from Washington. We will continue to exert pressure, through our partners, to separate the negotiations from aid delivery." Al-Ansari emphasized: "We are optimistic about US statements regarding efforts to reach an agreement in Gaza."
