Qatar, Egypt and Turkey Condemn Israeli Ceasefire Violations in Gaza
Mediators warn strikes hitting hospitals as well as civilian areas could derail the ceasefire’s second phase by undermining commitments to disarmament, reconstruction, aid delivery.
Overview
- Qatar, Egypt and Turkey issued a joint statement condemning recent Israeli strikes in Gaza as flagrant violations of the ceasefire and international humanitarian law, singling out attacks on medical facilities and resulting civilian deaths.
- The mediators urged the international community to press Israel to meet its legal obligations under the truce and to act in ways that ensure completion of President Trump’s peace roadmap.
- The Israel Defence Forces said its strikes eliminated two Hamas commanders, naming Adnan Taha Abu al-Tayf and Jalal Tsubeih and stating both posed recent threats to Israeli troops and civilians.
- Israeli forces carried out a raid in the occupied West Bank city of Nablus that involved heavy gunfire, tear gas and military vehicles escorting a bulldozer to enable access to Joseph’s Tomb, with local medics reporting injuries.
- The January 2025 three‑phase ceasefire links a halt to hostilities to detainee exchanges, disarmament measures and eventual withdrawal and rebuilding, and mediators say the recent strikes and raids now risk undermining the roadmap and worsening civilian suffering with varying casualty counts reported by media.
