"Qatar's prime minister has warned that daily Israeli breaches of the Gaza ceasefire are threatening the entire agreement, as he called for urgent progress towards the next phase of the deal to end Israel's genocidal war on the besieged Palestinian enclave. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani made the appeal following talks with United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington on Wednesday, where he stressed that delays and ceasefire violations endanger the entire process and place mediators in a difficult position."
"Since the ceasefire took effect on October 10, Israel has violated the agreement at least 738 times, killing at least 394 Palestinians and wounding another 1,075, according to Al Jazeera's tracking of the violations. Al Jazeera's chief US correspondent Alan Fisher said the talks were dominated by three critical issues. Chief among them was mounting pressure on Israel to halt ceasefire violations, most of which have been committed by Israeli forces, he said."
"The Qatari premier, whose country has played a critical mediating role, said humanitarian aid must reach Gaza unconditionally and that the second phase of the agreement must begin immediately. The discussions at the seventh US-Qatar Strategic Dialogue came as the fragile truce continues to fray amid a deepening humanitarian emergency across Gaza. Discussions also focused on forming an international stabilisation force (ISF), expected to include Indonesian and Turkish troops, though Israel has baulked at Turkiye's involvement,"
Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani called for an urgent move to the ceasefire's second phase as winter storms worsen Gaza's humanitarian crisis. He warned that daily Israeli breaches of the ceasefire threaten the entire agreement and said delays and violations endanger the process and place mediators in a difficult position following talks with United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio. The Qatari premier said humanitarian aid must reach Gaza unconditionally and the second phase must begin immediately. Since October 10 Israel has violated the ceasefire at least 738 times, causing hundreds of deaths and injuries. Talks focused on pressuring Israel to halt violations, forming an international stabilisation force, and increasing aid access.
