"In the immediate aftermath of the ceasefire, Qatar wasted no time in resuming its aid deliveries to Gaza – approved by Israel – just as it had done before the war. On Monday, Doha launched a land corridor to provide Gaza with 12.5 million liters of fuel during the first 10 days of the ceasefire.

This swift response, paired with Qatar’s recognition on the international stage as a successful mediator in brokering the agreement between Israel and Hamas, including the gratitude of President Isaac Herzog to the Qatari prime minister on the sidelines of the Davos Conference, may entrench Qatar’s role as a central player in Gaza."
