Turkey, Egypt and Qatar have criticised what they described as repeated Israeli breaches of the Gaza ceasefire, warning that the incidents could jeopardise ongoing efforts to secure a lasting truce. The three countries, which have been involved in mediation between Israel and Hamas, called for strict adherence to the ceasefire agreement.
In a joint statement, the governments expressed concern over reports of continued military operations in Gaza, saying attacks on civilian areas and key facilities could weaken progress made in the peace process. They urged all parties to honour the commitments reached under the truce.
“The repeated violations constitute a direct threat to the political process.”
“All parties must fully uphold their responsibilities and preserve the ceasefire.”
The statement came as mediators continued working to advance the next stage of negotiations, which include discussions on humanitarian assistance, the withdrawal of Israeli forces and broader security arrangements in Gaza.
Diplomatic sources said Egypt, Qatar and Turkey remain in contact with both Israel and Hamas in an effort to keep negotiations alive. They stressed that continued dialogue and unrestricted humanitarian access are essential to preventing a return to wider conflict.
The three countries also appealed to the international community to support efforts aimed at preserving the ceasefire and advancing a long-term political solution. They said lasting peace will depend on full compliance with existing agreements and sustained diplomatic engagement.
Humanitarian organisations, meanwhile, have warned that civilians in Gaza continue to face difficult conditions despite the truce. Analysts say the durability of the ceasefire will depend on the willingness of all parties to respect their obligations and maintain negotiations.
