Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said on Tuesday that Doha hopes for the return of the Palestinian Authority to the Gaza Strip, which is run by the Hamas movement.
He made his comments, reported by Reuters, during the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, two days after a ceasefire agreement came into effect in the 15-month-old war between Hamas and Israel.
The Qatari prime minister said lasting peace in Gaza depends on Israel and Hamas showing "good faith," days after a truce in Gaza that Qatar helped broker.
"If they proceed in good faith, this will continue, and hopefully lead to phase two, and lead to a permanent ceasefire," he added.
