US EditionMediators Qatar, Egypt call for next steps in Gaza truce
Qatar and Egypt, as ceasefire guarantors, demand Israeli troop withdrawal and an international force to monitor violations amid ongoing fragile peace talks.
- Qatar and Egypt called for Israeli troop withdrawal and deployment of an international stabilisation force, with Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty urging, `'We need to deploy this force as soon as possible on the ground because one party, which is Israel, is every day violating the ceasefire.'`
- Qatar, Egypt and the United States helped secure the truce on October 10, and mediators say the three-phase ceasefire agreement’s next stage has not yet begun.
- Hamas returned all 20 living hostages and 27 bodies in exchange for around 2,000 Palestinian detainees and convicted prisoners, while health authorities report over 360 Palestinians have died since the ceasefire.
- Qatar and the truce guarantors said they are coordinating to 'force the way forward' toward the next phase, while an Israeli delegation held talks in Cairo on Thursday about returning the last hostage, and a US official told The Times of Israel Washington aims to announce a move to phase two in the coming weeks.
- Arab and Muslim nations say they are hesitant to join because of command and mission risks, while Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan warned, `If they don't intervene, I'm afraid there is a risk the plan can fail`.
