Tue Jan 28 16:24:17 UTC 2025: ## Qatar Reasserts Support for Two-State Solution Amidst Trump’s Gaza Relocation Proposal

**Doha, Qatar –** Qatar has reiterated its unwavering commitment to a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s controversial suggestion to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Egypt or Jordan. In a press briefing on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari stated that Qatar believes a two-state solution is the only viable path forward for achieving Palestinian rights.

While acknowledging differing viewpoints with its allies, including the United States, Ansari emphasized the ongoing productive collaboration between Qatar and the Trump administration on regional issues, including the Palestinian conflict. He confirmed that Qatar is actively engaged with President Trump’s special representative for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, though he declined to elaborate on the specifics of their discussions.

Ansari’s statement comes in response to Trump’s renewed call for the relocation of Gazans, a proposal that has drawn significant international criticism. Qatar, along with the U.S. and Egypt, recently played a key mediating role in securing a ceasefire and hostage release deal ending over 15 months of conflict sparked by Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. The Qatari government’s continued support for the two-state solution highlights the country’s crucial role in regional diplomacy and its commitment to a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
