US hosts talks with Qatari, Turkish, Egyptian officials on Gaza ceasefire

The United States Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, is holding talks in Miami, Florida, with senior officials from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkiye to advance the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire amid ongoing Israeli violations. Despite efforts to preserve the truce, Israel continues to breach the agreement by blocking humanitarian aid and carrying out attacks on Gaza. Qatar and Egypt are pushing for the implementation of the agreement’s second phase, including Israeli withdrawal and the deployment of an international stabilisation force. The fragile ceasefire remains at risk due to daily Israeli breaches, threatening the entire agreement and exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
