In an interview with Sky News, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani says that the last 13 months have essentially been wasted on negotiations about "meaningless details":
Which have not been worth a single one of the lives we have lost in Gaza or a single life among the hostages lost in the bombings.
Qatar has played a crucial role in mediating between the two parties in the conflict, along with the USA and Egypt. Hamas's highest political leadership has also had a safe haven in the Qatari capital Doha for many years.
When asked what will happen if the ceasefire agreement collapses, the Prime Minister responds that there is no alternative to failure.
If it does not succeed, we will not give up. We will ensure that it is brought up again and the parties commit to it, he says.
The Qatari emphasizes that true peace will never be achieved without a Palestinian state.
