Dr. Mohamed Bin Mubarak Al-Khulaifi (born 1946)[1] is a Qatari diplomat, lawyer, peace negotiator, and the former chairman of Consultative Assembly of Qatar.

Al-Khulaifi served as the ambassador to Kuwait 1972-1981, and ambassador at the ministry of foreign affairs 1981-1991. In 1990, he was appointed to the consultative assembly, and elected as the chairman in 1995.[1] He served until 2017,[2] when he was a lawyer at the Qatari Court of Cassation, and an adjudicator at the Qatar Financial Center Regulatory Authority in 2017.[3]

The following year, in 2018, he was a legal advisor to His Excellency Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs.[3] The same year, he was the Agent of the State of Qatar before the International Court of Justice in The Hague, Netherlands.[3]

In 2022, Al-Khulaifi held the position of Assistant Minister of Foreign Affairs for Regional Affairs under Amiri decree No. 10.[3]

In 2023, the government of Qatar appointed Al-Khulaifi as Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs by Amiri decree No. 5.[3]

In 2023, Reuters referred to Al-Khulaifi as "Qatar's chief negotiator in ceasefire talks" during the 2023 Israel-Hamas war. Al-Khulaifi successfully advocated for a ceasefire in Gaza, stating the ceasefire meant "no attack whatsoever. No military movements, no expansion, nothing," and that he hoped the truce "will be a seed to a bigger agreement and a permanent cease of fire...That's our intention." The four-day ceasefire began on 22 November 2023.[4]
