US President Joe Biden has warned the parties involved in the negotiations aimed at signing a cease-fire agreement in the Gaza Strip. He urged them not to undermine efforts to reach a possible agreement.
After the latest talks on Friday, Biden said, 'We are closer to a ceasefire agreement than ever before.' However, a senior Hamas official expressed doubts about this.
US President Biden also said that he is sending his Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to Israel as part of a strong effort to implement this agreement.
The US president said these words after a joint statement was released by the US, Qatar and Egypt.
President Biden offered an agreement aimed at establishing a cease-fire in Gaza and releasing hostages, the joint statement said. They hope that the agreement will reduce the differences between Israel and Hamas.
Governments of various countries are making desperate efforts to ensure that the ongoing war in Gaza does not turn into a regional conflict. They are considering any kind of progress in the talks in Qatar as necessary.
Mediators said the ceasefire talks held over the past two days were "significant and constructive". The discussion took place in a positive atmosphere.
Senior officials involved in the mediation process will meet again next week in Cairo, Egypt. Their hope is to reach an agreement on the terms of the agreement in the talks held in Doha, Qatar. Technical groups will work in the coming days to finalize the details of how the terms of the proposal will be implemented ahead of the Cairo meeting.
In a later statement, Biden said he had spoken separately with the leaders of Qatar and Egypt. They strongly supported the ceasefire proposal.
