Egypt's President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi thanked Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani on Sunday for his work in mediating a truce for Gaza and the exchange of prisoners between Hamas and Israel.
"I look forward to more cooperation that can help meet the aspirations of the Palestinian people and to establish a comprehensive peace in the region," Sisi said on social media.
Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry received a call from US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday to discuss obstacles threatening Israel's truce with Hamas and ways to reach a comprehensive ceasefire, Egypt's foreign ministry said.
During the phone call, Shoukry stressed the need to build on the truce while implementing the United Nations Security Council resolution issued on Nov. 15 which calls for humanitarian pauses that can allow aid into Gaza, the ministry said in a statement.
