Turkey, Egypt and Qatar accuse Israel of breaking Gaza ceasefire and targeting hospitals

Turkey, Egypt and Qatar have issued sharp condemnations of Israeli operations in Gaza, accusing Israel of repeatedly violating the ceasefire agreement and damaging medical facilities in the enclave. The three regional powers warned that continued breaches threaten to derail the second phase of the Trump administration’s Middle East peace plan.

The joint criticism marks a significant diplomatic escalation, with the three nations coordinating their response to what they characterise as systematic violations of ceasefire terms. They have specifically highlighted attacks on healthcare infrastructure, which they argue constitute breaches of international law and humanitarian principles.

The warnings come at a delicate moment in negotiations over the proposed peace framework. The second phase of the Trump plan, which had been expected to outline longer-term political settlements, is now in jeopardy according to these regional actors. Their unified stance suggests growing consensus among key Middle Eastern states regarding Israel’s conduct in Gaza.

The accusations add pressure on Israel at a time when the international community is closely monitoring compliance with ceasefire arrangements. The involvement of Egypt and Qatar—both historically important mediators in Israeli-Palestinian disputes—suggests these concerns carry significant weight in regional diplomatic circles.
