The State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the Republic of Turkiye, in their roles as mediating nations, express their unequivocal condemnation of the ongoing Israeli violations in the Gaza Strip. These violations, particularly the targeting of healthcare facilities and medical infrastructure, have resulted in significant civilian casualties, including women and children, and represent a blatant infringement of international law and humanitarian principles.
The mediators emphasize the necessity for Israel to adhere to its obligations under international law and to honor its commitments outlined in the ceasefire agreement. They assert that the continuation of these violations constitutes a breach of the agreement and jeopardizes efforts to implement its second phase, particularly following Hamas and the Palestinian factions' acceptance of the roadmap, especially concerning the confinement of weapons.
Furthermore, they caution that these violations jeopardize the pathway to de-escalation and exacerbate the suffering of civilians within the Gaza Strip.
The mediators reiterate their call for the full protection of civilians, medical facilities, and humanitarian personnel, as well as for the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance and medical supplies throughout the region.
They also urge the international community to fulfill its responsibilities and apply the necessary pressure on Israel to comply with its obligations under international law and the ceasefire agreement. This action is essential to ensure the successful implementation of President Trump's peace plan. The mediators highlight President Trump's characterization of achieving consensus on the roadmap for the second phase as a "historic agreement" and stress the importance of safeguarding efforts aimed at realizing a sustainable de-escalation, culminating in a permanent ceasefire and an end to the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.
