Senior officials from Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye convened this week to address challenges in implementing the Gaza ceasefire, following renewed regional tensions. The meeting, held on November 25, 2025, included Egypt's intelligence chief Hassan Rashad, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani, and Türkiye's intelligence director Ibrahim Kalin, who emphasized strengthening coordination with Israel's Civil-Military Coordination Center to prevent violations.
The discussions built on recent talks between Egyptian mediators and Hamas representatives, who reiterated their commitment to the ceasefire's first phase but demanded stricter oversight of Israeli military actions. The agreement, initially brokered in October 2023 by the U.S., Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye, has reduced but not fully halted hostilities. Gaza health authorities reported 345 Palestinian fatalities since October 11, 2025, underscoring the fragility of the truce.
Analysts suggest the tripartite collaboration reflects growing regional efforts to stabilize the ceasefire ahead of its second phase, which aims to address humanitarian aid distribution and long-term security frameworks. However, persistent disagreements over monitoring mechanisms continue to test diplomatic progress.
