Middle East politics is very complicated. It's made up of many major parties all jockeying for influence against each other. There are many situations where you have parties acting both as allies and sworn enemies simultaneously.
Qatar who is supposedly one of the neutral party mediators, provides Hamas with hundreds of millions of dollars every year and also houses their leaders.
Qatar and the Saudis are allies within the Arab League. They are also having fairly major proxy wars with each other on at least 4 fronts. Qatar, for example, provided 1000 troops to help the Saudis in Yemen but also funded the anti-Saudi forces in Yemen.
