Egypt said Tuesday it is working with Qatar and the United States to secure a 60-day Gaza cease-fire, part of a renewed push to halt Israel’s genocidal war on the besieged Palestinian enclave.
Egypt, Qatar and the United States have played a key role in mediating talks between Israel and Hamas since Oct. 7.
"We are working very hard now in full cooperation with the Qataris and Americans," Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty told reporters during a news conference in Cairo.
"The main objective is to go back to the original proposal – to have a cease-fire for 60 days, with the release of some hostages and some Palestinian detainees, and the flow of humanitarian and medical assistance to Gaza without restrictions, without conditions."
"We are talking with Hamas, with the Israelis and pushing for a deal" based on a recent U.S. plan, Abdelatty said.
