“Al-Qahera Al-Ikhbariya” channel reported that the meeting was attended by the heads of intelligence in Egypt and Turkey, in addition to the Prime Minister of Qatar. During the meeting, “ways to intensify joint efforts” with the United States were discussed, with the aim of ensuring the successful implementation of the next phase of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.
Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the United States are mediating and guaranteeing the Gaza agreement, which began implementation on October 10, after two years of conflict.
The Cairo meeting comes two days after a high-level delegation from Hamas met with the head of Egyptian intelligence, Hassan Rashad, to discuss the second phase of the truce.
This phase includes the disarmament of Hamas, the establishment of a transitional authority, and the deployment of an international force to maintain stability, consisting of foreign forces in the Gaza Strip.
According to “Al-Qahera Al-Ikhbariya,” Tuesday’s meeting also addressed “removing any obstacles and containing violations to ensure the consolidation of the ceasefire.”
The ceasefire, which was announced on October 10, still faces the risk of violations, with Israel and Hamas exchanging repeated accusations of violating the truce.
According to the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Israeli military operations have resulted in the martyrdom of more than 300 Palestinians since the beginning of the truce.
At the conclusion of the Cairo meeting, the mediators agreed to continue strengthening coordination with the Civil-Military Coordination Center, a truce monitoring center established by the United States and its allies in southern Israel.
