The leaders of Qatar, Egypt and the United States said in a joint statement issued Thursday that a framework agreement on a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip is ready and is now on the table, stressing that only details remain regarding implementation.
The leaders called for the resumption of “urgent” talks on August 15 in Doha or Cairo to close all remaining gaps in the proposed agreement and begin implementing it without any delay.
“It is time, immediately, to put an end to the long-standing suffering of the people of the Gaza Strip, as well as of the hostages and their families. It is time to conclude a ceasefire agreement and release the hostages and detainees,” the statement said.
“We have worked for months to reach a framework agreement and it is now on the table, and only the details of implementation remain,” the leaders stressed, adding, “We, as mediators, are ready to present the final proposal to resolve the remaining issues related to implementation in a way that meets the expectations of all parties.”
