Mediators cautioned that the escalation risks derailing the implementation of the peace roadmap's second phase."The continuation of these violations constitutes a breach of the agreement and undermines the efforts aimed at implementing its second phase," the joint statement said.The three mediating nations renewed calls for the complete protection of civilians, medical facilities and aid personnel, as well as the unhindered delivery of humanitarian assistance throughout the region.They urged the international community to step in and exert pressure on Israel to fulfill its commitments and finalize the peace plan advanced by U.S. President Donald Trump, who previously called the consensus reached on the second-phase roadmap a "historic agreement."The mediators emphasized that decisive international action is critical to prevent further escalation, secure a permanent ceasefire and end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.Joint Statement Issued by the Mediators: The State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the Republic of Türkiye on the Ongoing Israeli Violations in Gaza
