Qatar halts Israel-Gaza ceasefire mediation over lack of 'good faith'
The Qatari government has informed the US and Israel it will stop mediation efforts to halt the conflict in Gaza because it no longer thinks the parties are negotiating in good faith.
The Gulf state has concluded that talks have become a political football, and its efforts to facilitate them were generating criticism towards it, according to a diplomatic source briefed on the situation.
“As long as there is a refusal to negotiate a deal in good faith, they cannot continue to mediate,” the source said.

I'll file this under my "Derp" section. I applaud that they tried as much as they did. Both sides keep going back to that same restaurant that they have been going to for decades and ordering that same shit sandwich the world decided they had to have. At some point they both have to decide that there is a better sandwich and make a new restaurant together.
