Qatar has accused Israel of “dragging its feet” over the proposed roadmap for Gaza, arguing that Israel has repeatedly resisted efforts to advance the plan throughout the war in the Strip.

Majed al-Ansari, spokesman for Qatar’s Foreign Ministry, said Doha wants the international community to increase pressure on Israel to move ahead with the second stage of the U.S.-backed 20-point plan for Gaza.

According to Ansari, Hamas has accepted the proposal, leaving Israel responsible for taking the next steps toward implementation.

Ansari also said Qatar, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are preparing to announce practical measures aimed at advancing the Gaza plan.

Turning to the ongoing U.S.-Iran discussions, Ansari said ensuring freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz remains the immediate priority. He added that efforts should focus on restoring conditions in the waterway to what they were before the war.

Any future agreement concerning the strategic strait, Ansari said, must be reached through “regional concurrence and full respect for international law.”
