Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani received a phone call today from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

During their conversation, they focused on the close strategic relations between Qatar and the United States, exploring ways to support and enhance these ties.

They also addressed the latest developments in the region, particularly concerning the Gaza Strip and the occupied Palestinian territories.

The leaders discussed joint mediation efforts to end the ongoing conflict in Gaza and strategies to reduce tensions in Lebanon.

Qatar's prime minister says there have not been any conversations between the involved parties regarding a ceasefire in Gaza for the last three to four weeks.
