Concerning the joint mediation efforts between the US, Qatar, and Egypt on Gaza, the ambassador said that the three countries recognise the urgent need for progress in Gaza, with a shared commitment to regional stability and humanitarian trilateral cooperation, he said, has been instrumental in ceasefire negotiations, working to prevent renewed violence and ensure humanitarian aid reaches civilians in need.
