According to officials, Qatar's decision to expel Hamas was made independently, not by the Biden administration, due to growing frustration with the political situation.

The Gaza peace talks hosted by Qatar have left the country increasingly frustrated with "political exploitation" from all sides involved, and they have informed Hamas that they are no longer welcome in their nation unless the Biden administration helps, according to Planet Chronicle Digital.

According to U.S. officials, the Biden administration requested that Qatar expel Hamas political officials after Hamas rejected proposals to release a small number of hostages during recent talks following the assassination of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.

After the murder of Hersh Goldberg Polin, an American citizen kidnapped on October 7, the U.S. reached a decision.

A diplomatic source stated that Qatar made the decision to ask Hamas leaders to leave after both sides refused to participate in negotiations unless their conditions were met without any constructive engagement.

Qatar warned U.S. officials, Hamas, and Israel that they would not tolerate being used for political gain at Qatar's expense while misleading the public.

"The Qataris have determined that both sides lack sufficient willingness, causing the mediation efforts to focus more on politics and elections than a genuine effort towards peace."

"The Qataris informed both Israel and Hamas, as well as the U.S. administration, of their decision without any advance warning."

The senior Biden administration official stated that they will refer the matter to Qatar for further discussion. The U.S. continues to work on initiatives to free the hostages, which is an ongoing effort.

According to U.S. sources, the official breakdown in talks was reported just after President-elect Donald Trump won the U.S. election. However, it was in the works before the election, and the Biden administration asked Qatar to ask Hamas to leave about two weeks ago. Qatar gave Hamas notice they would no longer be welcome about 10 days ago.

Another source who is knowledgeable about the matter claims that the Biden administration did not request Qatar to remove Hamas two weeks ago, but instead informed Hamas of the decision 10 days ago.

Dr. Majed bin Mohammed al Ansari, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that the State of Qatar had notified the parties 10 days ago during the last attempts to reach an agreement that it would halt its efforts to mediate between Hamas and Israel if no agreement was reached in that round.

He emphasized that the State of Qatar will not allow mediation to be used as a tool for blackmailing it.

The talks were undermined by those involved, who backed out of commitments and used them as deal breakers for political gain rather than addressing the security issue.

"If the Israelis and Hamas refuse to negotiate in good faith, the Qataris cannot continue to mediate. As a result, the Hamas political office is no longer effective."

Qatar had only informed Israel, Hamas, and the U.S. that it would no longer host talks, and would return to the negotiating table once both sides were serious about ending the war.

In April, members of Hamas left for Turkey due to a similar message being conveyed.

Two weeks later, the Biden administration and Israeli government urged Qatar to request Hamas' return to continue negotiations.

Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani has played a key role in peace talks between Israel and Hamas, alongside the U.S. and Gaza, helping to secure the release of nearly 200 hostages over the past year. However, U.S. officials say Hamas has shown no signs of budging off "unrealistic" demands to remain in power in Gaza, a position the U.S. and Israel will never accept.

The Biden administration is under pressure to secure a ceasefire deal before Trump's win.

Matthew Miller, the State Department spokesperson, stated that the department will continue to work towards ending the wars in Gaza and Lebanon and increasing humanitarian aid until noon on January 20th.

Trump, who campaigned on resolving global conflicts through negotiation, will prioritize the restoration of peace in the Middle East. According to reports, he informed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he desires a swift Israeli victory in the war.

In September, Trump and al-Thani had productive discussions about bringing peace to the region in Florida, a source close to the matter revealed.

The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not respond to Planet Chronicle Digital's request for comment by press time.

An official from Netanyahu's office issued a statement to reporters, expressing welcome to Qatar's decision and stating that no country should host terror groups.

The Israeli official stated that the decision to expel Hamas from Doha was influenced by Donald Trump's election victory, implying that the Republican president-elect would not have supported Hamas's continued presence in the city.
