The mediating nations urge Israel and Hamas to resume their negotiations amid fears of a wider conflagration in the region.
Qatar, Egypt and the United States have called on Israel and Hamas to resume talks to reach a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, as Israel’s continued bombardment of the territory has killed nearly 40,000 Palestinians and raised fears of further regional escalation.
In a joint statement on Thursday, the three countries urged Israel and Hamas “to resume urgent discussion” on August 15 in Doha or Cairo “to close all remaining gaps and commence implementation of the deal without further delay”.
“It is the time to conclude a ceasefire agreement and release hostages and prisoners,” they said.
“We have worked for months to reach framework agreement and it is now on the table, with only details of implementation missing.”
