Egypt, Qatar, US Seek Gaza Ceasefire Resumption Amid Ongoing Israeli Attacks

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has been actively engaging with US, Saudi, Qatari, and UN officials to push for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, emphasizing the urgent need to stop hostilities and ensure humanitarian aid delivery amid worsening conditions. Egypt, Qatar, and the US have previously brokered a three-phase ceasefire deal, including a 60-day truce tied to hostage releases and aid access, but it collapsed after renewed Israeli attacks. Abdelatty also highlighted Egypt's role in solidifying the Israel-Iran ceasefire and underscored the importance of resuming negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program to reduce regional tensions. Despite these diplomatic efforts, Qatar's Foreign Ministry clarified that no formal ceasefire negotiations are currently underway, but contacts are ongoing to draft a framework to resume talks, with concerns raised about Israeli obstruction of aid and negotiation progress. US President Donald Trump has publicly urged Israel to accept a 60-day ceasefire deal, while international bodies have accused Israel of war crimes in Gaza. Both Egypt and Qatar remain committed to achieving a durable ceasefire and promoting stability in the Middle East through coordinated diplomatic initiatives.
