CAIRO, Nov 26 (NNN-MENA) – Senior officials from Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye, met here yesterday, to discuss ways to consolidate the Gaza ceasefire and resolve obstacles to its implementation, Egypt’s Al Qahera News Channel reported.
The meeting, attended by Egyptian intelligence chief, Hassan Rashad, Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, and Turkish National Intelligence Organisation Director, Ibrahim Kalin, focused on ensuring the success of the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, it reported.
The officials agreed to enhance coordination with Israel’s Civil-Military Coordination Centre, which oversees the ceasefire, and talked about ways to prevent violations and strengthen the ceasefire.
The tripartite meeting followed Rashad’s Sunday talks with a Hamas delegation in Cairo, which reaffirmed its commitment to the ceasefire agreement’s first phase, but called for a mediators-supervised mechanism to monitor and halt Israeli “breaches.”
The ceasefire reached between Israel and Hamas, brokered by the U.S., Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye, which took effect on Oct 10, has sharply reduced Israeli attacks but not halted them entirely.
At least 345 Palestinians have been murdered, and 889 others injured by Israeli attacks, since Oct 11, Gaza’s health authorities said yesterday, bringing the overall death toll from Israeli attacks since Oct, 2023, to 69,775, with 170,965 others injured.– NNN-MENA
