Gaza ceasefire: Egyptian security delegation heads to Qatar

Published on March 27, 2025 at 07:36 PM

A security delegation from Egypt, one of the mediators in Gaza negotiations, has headed to Qatar for talks on releasing hostages, admitting aid into the enclave and moving towards a second phase of a ceasefire.

Recall that Egypt floated a new proposal on Monday aimed at restoring the Gaza ceasefire deal.

The proposal comes amid an escalation in violence after Israel resumed air and ground operations against Hamas militants on March 18, ending a two-month period of relative calm.

The Egyptian plan calls for Hamas to release five Israeli hostages each week, with Israel implementing the second phase of the ceasefire after the first week.

Meanwhile, Israel and Hamas have accused each other of breaching the truce.

The ceasefire talks had broadly been held since January and offered respite from war for the 2.3 million inhabitants of Gaza, which has been reduced to rubble.

Israel said it would be willing to extend the ceasefire temporarily if Hamas releases more hostages, but without moving yet to a second phase during which it would negotiate a permanent end to the war.
