CAIRO, (PIC)
Egypt and Qatar affirmed in a joint statement on Wednesday the continuation and coordination of their mediation efforts to achieve a comprehensive calm in the Gaza Strip, in light of the ongoing Israeli escalation and the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in the Strip.
The statement clarified that the joint efforts between the two countries are based on a unified vision aimed at ending the unprecedented humanitarian crisis and alleviating the suffering of civilians by creating conditions conducive to a comprehensive de-escalation that guarantees the cessation of aggression and opens the way for humanitarian aid.
Egypt and Qatar stressed that attempts to cast doubt, distort or escalate the situation in the media with the aim of sowing discord between brothers will not deter them from continuing their joint efforts to end the war and put an end to the humanitarian catastrophe, in reference to Israeli leaks aimed at driving a wedge between the two countries.
The statement also affirmed that the two countries’ actions are not motivated by any internal calculations or side agendas, but stem from their keenness to serve the interests of the Palestinian people, with a full commitment to work on a clear basis focused on alleviating suffering, achieving calm, and reaching a permanent ceasefire.
The statement noted ongoing coordination with the United States on this track, with the aim of reaching an agreement that would end the humanitarian tragedy and ensure the protection of civilians.
