Doha, Qatar – Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani warned that the Gaza ceasefire is at a “critical moment” and could collapse without rapid progress toward a permanent peace agreement. He described the current situation as merely a “pause” in hostilities, stressing that a full Israeli withdrawal and restored freedom of movement for Palestinians are essential for a true ceasefire.

Turkiye’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan echoed these concerns, noting that timely U.S. intervention is crucial to maintain momentum. He added that Hamas has largely fulfilled its obligations regarding captives, with only one body remaining in Gaza.

Speakers stressed that Gaza cannot be treated in isolation and urgent international action is needed to implement the second phase of the ceasefire, including disarmament, a technocratic Palestinian government, and full Israeli withdrawal, ensuring safety and humanitarian support for the population.
