THERE is renewed “momentum” towards a ceasefire in Gaza, Qatar’s top diplomat said on Saturday.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani, Qatari foreign minister and prime minister, told the Doha Forum that he was optimistic after November’s US presidential election result that there was now a fresh impetus towards ending the war.

This came after dozens of Palestinians were killed by the Israelis in continued attacks on Gaza.
