WASHINGTON DC, 2nd May. Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi and the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani on Wednesday have pledged to resume talks in Gaza to end the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The Egyptian Presidency said on Tuesday in a statement that during a phone conversation, leaders discussed the latest developments and joint efforts to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.
They discussed efforts to exchange hostages and detainees and ensure the flow of humanitarian aid and relief in sufficient and adequate quantities into Gaza, media reported.
Two leaders confirmed their commitment to continuing joint efforts and engaging with the various parties to end the war, protect the region from the ramifications of the expansion of the conflict, and restore security and stability in the region.
Egypt and Qatar with the US are spearheading regional mediation talks to end the conflict and expedite humanitarian aid into the war-torn territory via Egypt.
Israel launched a large-scale offensive in Gaza to retaliate against a Hamas brutal attack on southern Israeli border on October 7, 2023, during which about 1,200 people were killed and more than 200 were taken hostage.
The Palestinian death toll from ongoing Israeli attacks on Gaza has risen to 34,535, the Hamas-run health authorities in Gaza said in a press statement on Tuesday.
