Egypt and Qatar said in a joint statement on Sunday that they are continuing their "intensive efforts to bring viewpoints closer together and work to overcome points of contention to reach a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, based on the proposal of US envoy (Steve) Witkoff, and to allow for the resumption of indirect negotiations based on this proposal."
In the statement, the two countries called for "all parties to exercise responsibility and support the efforts of mediators to end the crisis in the Gaza Strip and restore stability and calm to the region."
The statement said, "The two countries look forward to quickly reaching a temporary truce for a period of 60 days, leading to a permanent ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, allowing an end to the unprecedented humanitarian crisis in the Strip, allowing the opening of crossings and the entry of humanitarian and relief aid, ensuring the alleviation of the suffering facing the Palestinian people in Gaza, leading to a complete end to the war and the commencement of the reconstruction of the Strip in accordance with the plan adopted by the emergency Arab Summit in Cairo on March 4, 2025."
