Qatar Reassessing its role as mediator between Israel and hamas

Qatar is reassessing its role as a mediator between Israel and Hamas, the country's prime minister has said.

Qatar has had a key role - along with Egypt and the US - in trying to secure a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas and the release of hostages.

But Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani said Doha had been exploited and abused and was being undermined by those trying to score political points.

He also said the current peace talks were in a "delicate phase".
