Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey issued a joint statement condemning Israeli strikes in Gaza, according to the statement. The three countries said the violation of the ceasefire agreement harms the implementation of the second phase and called on the international community to pressure Israel.
Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey issued a joint statement tonight condemning recent Israeli strikes in Gaza, explicitly accusing Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement and undermining the implementation of the second phase. The statement, published at 23:33 Jerusalem time, calls on the international community to exert pressure on Israel. The new statement follows an earlier joint statement from the same three countries at 23:16, which broadly called for pressure without specifying the alleged violation. The timing and content indicate a coordinated diplomatic effort by the three states to escalate criticism of Israeli operations in Gaza.
