DOHA, August 3. /TASS/. Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, which are acting as mediators in an effort to settle the conflict in the Gaza Strip, have strongly condemned Israel’s actions in the enclave as a flagrant violation of the ceasefire agreement, according to their joint statement released by the Qatari Foreign Ministry.
"The State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the Republic of Turkey, in their capacity as the mediating countries, express their strong condemnation and denunciation of the ongoing Israeli violations in the Gaza Strip, particularly the targeting of healthcare facilities and medical infrastructure, and the resulting civilian casualties, including women and children, which constitute a flagrant violation of international law and international humanitarian law," the statement reads.
"The mediators stress the need for Israel to comply with all of its obligations under international law and to fully uphold its commitments under the ceasefire agreement, affirming that the continuation of these violations constitutes a breach of the agreement and undermines the efforts aimed at implementing its second phase, particularly following Hamas and the Palestinian factions’ announcement of their acceptance of the roadmap, especially the provision concerning the confinement of weapons. They further warn that these violations threaten the path toward de-escalation and exacerbate the suffering of civilians in the Gaza Strip," it says.
