PNN – Qatar and Egypt announced in a joint statement that they are coordinating with the United States to end the Gaza war.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, citing Al Jazeera, Qatar and Egypt have intensified their efforts to establish a new ceasefire and are trying to bridge the gaps between Hamas and the Israeli regime based on a proposal presented by the US envoy to the Middle East.
Accordingly, in a joint statement, the two countries confirmed that they are in coordination with the United States and called on the parties to the conflict to responsibly enter into indirect negotiations to end the war.

The proposal calls for a 60-day ceasefire that could lead to a permanent ceasefire. The entry of humanitarian aid and the opening of crossings are also part of the plan. The aim of the agreement is to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and begin full reconstruction. The plan is in line with a roadmap approved at an Arab League summit in Cairo in March.
Previous attempts to broker a ceasefire have repeatedly failed due to Tel Aviv’s opposition to key conditions. In previous rounds of talks brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the US, Israel reneged on its commitments to a permanent ceasefire and a complete withdrawal of its forces from Gaza.
Al Jazeera writes: The talks collapsed when Israel refused to provide a specific timetable for ending the blockade or restoring humanitarian access to Gaza, conditions that Palestinian groups, including Hamas, consider essential. Even during temporary ceasefires, Israeli airstrikes and ground operations have continued, violating the terms of the ceasefires.
