Belgian PM hails Qatar's efforts for Gaza truce

Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo stressed that, during the meeting Saturday with His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, he appreciated the efforts made by Qatar in the negotiations related to a ceasefire and hostage release in the Gaza Strip.
In a post on his X account, Prime Minister De Croo said: "I expressed Belgium's appreciation for Qatar's role in negotiating a ceasefire and hostage release to Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani." Last Tuesday, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Dr Majed bin Mohamed al-Ansari said that the Qatari, regional and international efforts continue for a ceasefire in Gaza, saying there are still hopes for an agreement to unleash calm before Eid Al-Fitr but the situation on the ground is highly complicated.
