This means that Pelosi thinks Hamas is a humanitarian organization? She never says that. She says the Qataris have told her that. She never says she agrees with that characterization and many other statements on the subject by Pelosi tell the opposite story.
You are also wrong about your interpretation of the first part of the sentence. "We have to confer with the Qataris" does not mean we should confer with them. It means the Qataris are the only conduit we have to Hamas. Pelosi is saying since the Qataris are insisting Hamas keeps repeating that Hamas is a humanitarian organization, they may not be a neutral conduit. Change that to they are not a neutral conduit. That is what Pelosi is saying here.
