In a statement on his official Facebook page, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi welcomed the recent ceasefire agreement in Gaza. 

"I welcome the agreement to ceasefire in the Gaza Strip after tireless efforts spanning more than a year, mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States," El-Sisi wrote.

The Egyptian leader mentioned the critical need for immediate humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza to alleviate the dire conditions they are facing. "With this agreement, I emphasize the importance of expediting the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza to address the current catastrophic humanitarian situation, without any obstacles, until sustainable peace is achieved through a two-state solution. This will allow the region to enjoy stability, security, and development in a world that accommodates everyone," El-Sisi stated.

President El-Sisi also reiterated Egypt's steadfast commitment to supporting peace and advocating for the rights of the Palestinian people. "Egypt will always remain faithful to its commitments, a supporter of just peace, a sincere partner in achieving it, and a defender of the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people," he affirmed.

Similarly, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed support for the ceasefire agreement.

In a statement on Wednesday, Erdogan welcomed the conclusion of negotiations between Hamas and "Israel", describing the agreement as a potential step toward lasting peace.

"We hope that this agreement will be a blessing for our Palestinian brothers and sisters, for our region and for all humankind, and will open the door to lasting peace and stability," Erdogan stated on X.

He also pledged that Ankara would mobilize all resources to aid in rebuilding Gaza.

Key terms of the agreement

Details of the agreement obtained by Al Mayadeen reveal an eleven-clause framework aimed at addressing both immediate humanitarian concerns and longer-term conflict resolution. Key provisions include:

  7. "Israel" is to release all women and children under the age of 19 from its prisons.
  8. Israeli forces must gradually withdraw from the Netzarim corridor and the Philadelphi Route.
  9. Displaced residents must be allowed to return to their homes, with guaranteed freedom of movement throughout the Gaza Strip.
