Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on Monday reiterated their unwavering stance against the displacement of Palestinians from their land.
During their meeting in Doha, the two leaders discussed the ongoing efforts to restore a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange agreement between Israel and Hamas, according to a statement from the Egyptian presidency. They also addressed the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza, emphasizing the need to secure sufficient aid for the Palestinian people in the enclave.
Sheikh Tamim noted in a statement on X that the discussion also covered strengthening the “solid fraternal relations” between Qatar and Egypt, as well as expanding cooperation in various sectors. He reaffirmed that both Doha and Cairo will continue working together to support the Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied territories, aiming to foster "sustainable security and peace."
Since Israel closed Gaza's crossings on March 2, vital supplies have been blocked from entering the enclave. The situation further escalated after Israel resumed its assault on Gaza on March 18, breaking the ceasefire and prisoner exchange deal established in January.
The violence in Gaza has led to the death of nearly 51,000 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children. The International Criminal Court has issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes in Gaza, and Israel is also facing a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its actions in the region.
