US, Egypt, and Qatar Push for Israel-Hamas Ceasefire Talks

Newsis

Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, leaders from the United States, Egypt, and Qatar have urged Israel and Hamas to resume ceasefire negotiations.

According to reports from The New York Times and Reuters yesterday, U.S. President Joe Biden, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani issued a joint statement announcing that talks to finalize a ceasefire and discuss the release of hostages will resume on August 15.

Doha, Qatar, and Cairo, Egypt, are proposed as potential venues for the negotiations.

In their joint statement, the leaders stressed that “a framework agreement is now on the table with only the details of implementation left to conclude” and called for “the release of hostages and begin the ceasefire.” They also mentioned their readiness to offer a final bridging proposal to address any remaining issues, if necessary.

Following the statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signaled his intention to send a negotiation team. However, foreign reports indicate that Hamas has not yet responded to the call for resuming talks.

The New York Times also noted that several critical issues must be resolved before finalizing the ceasefire agreement.

While the U.S. has provided military support to Israel, it has been cautious about the regional conflict’s expansion. The U.S. expressed optimism that the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza are approaching their final stages. However, there are concerns that the election of Yahya Sinwar, a hardliner, as Hamas’s top political leader may complicate the negotiation process.
