00:00Therefore, we have joined this joint statement and we are working with our partners to make
00:08sure that there is an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon and that we walk our way back from
00:14the current escalation.
00:15Obviously, on the other track, the talks about Gaza, we continue with our efforts, and I
00:22think there is a general sense in the international community that everybody is working together
00:26in order to ensure a ceasefire happening in Lebanon.
00:29I don't think we can now say that there is a formal mediation track, rather than all
00:34channels of communication remain open and that all of us are doing all that we can.
00:38It's not only Qatar, but I think all parties who are interested in a ceasefire right there
00:43are working on this.
