Top officials from four countries urged restraint and reviewed progress on a multi-stage peace plan after a ceasefire phase that began Oct 10, amid worsening humanitarian conditions.
- On Saturday , the United States, Qatar, Egypt and Turkiye urged all parties to honour the Gaza ceasefire and exercise restraint after meeting US special envoy Steve Witkoff in Miami to review the ceasefire's first phase that took effect on October 10.
- The second phase would require near-term establishment of a transitional administration and deployment of an international stabilisation force amid alleged Israeli violations and worsening winter conditions affecting displaced Palestinians in Gaza Strip.
- Gaza's Civil Defence reported six people killed in an Israeli strike on a school shelter, raising Palestinian deaths from Israeli fire since the truce to about 400, and recovered 94 bodies transferred to Al-Shifa Medical Complex.
- US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged countries to contribute troops for an international stabilisation force and disarm Hamas, while Turkey held parallel talks with Hamas negotiator Khalil al-Hayya and Ibrahim Kalin in Istanbul on Saturday.
