Relations between the two countries are witnessing continuous development. In May, the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani, received the prime minister of Malaysia, and discussed enhancing cooperation between the two countries in all fields.
On Friday, a round of negotiations regarding a ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal between Hamas and Israel ended in Doha, mediators announced a new proposal and an imminent meeting in Cairo to discuss the ceasefire, stressing that the negotiations were “constructive”.
The mediators said in a statement that the US, with the support of Qatar and Egypt, presented a proposal that narrows the gaps between the two sides and is consistent with the principles set by US President Joe Biden on 31 May and Security Council Resolution 2735.
They stated that this proposal “builds on the points of agreement achieved during the past week and bridges the remaining gaps in a manner allowing for the rapid implementation of the agreement.”
