US EditionQatari leader says the Gaza ceasefire is at a critical moment
Qatari and U.S. mediators aim to advance a second ceasefire phase involving Israeli withdrawal and Gaza governance amid ongoing violence and disputes over an international security force.
- Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani warned the Gaza truce is a `pause` at a `critical` moment as U.S.-led mediators push for the next phase, Qatar's Prime Minister said on Dec 6.
- The first phase, which began on Oct. 10, established a halt to fighting and hostage-prisoner exchanges, and Israel sent a delegation to Egypt last week to discuss returning the remains of the last hostage.
- Despite the halt to heavy fighting, Israeli strikes and demolitions have continued; Gaza's Health Ministry says Israel's offensive has killed over 70,000 Palestinians and over 360 died since the October 10 truce.
- Agreeing on the ISF's makeup has stalled progress, officials say, as Israel has rejected Turkish participation despite Turkey being named a guarantor, complicating the force's formation.
- The next phase would aim to form an interim technocratic Palestinian government in Gaza overseen by an international `board of peace`, while Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said lasting peace requires a Palestinian state.
