Senior officials from Egypt, Qatar and Türkiye met in Cairo on Tuesday to accelerate efforts to consolidate the Gaza ceasefire and resolve obstacles hampering its implementation.
The talks involved Egypt’s intelligence chief Hassan Rashad, Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, and Türkiye’s intelligence director Ibrahim Kalin.
According to Egypt’s Al Qahera News Channel, the meeting focused on coordinating with Israel’s Civil-Military Coordination Center to prevent ceasefire violations and ensure the success of the agreement’s second phase.
The discussions follow earlier meetings between Egyptian officials and a Hamas delegation, which reaffirmed commitment to the ceasefire while urging a mechanism to monitor Israeli actions.
Despite the ceasefire, Gaza’s health authorities reported 345 Palestinian deaths and 889 injuries from Israeli attacks since October 11, bringing total casualties since 2023 to nearly 70,000.
