Qatari, US and Egyptian negotiators set up Cairo hub to shore up Gaza ceasefire
Briefly

Three countries—Qatar, the US, and Egypt—are collaborating to maintain a ceasefire in Gaza from a communications hub in Cairo. Despite early reports of violence and skepticism from former President Donald Trump about the ceasefire's durability, negotiators express confidence in US support. Recent pitfalls in the ceasefire process, including delayed lists of hostages, have forced careful timing in prisoner exchanges to enhance coordination. The current ceasefire is set for six weeks, with further negotiations expected to begin soon amidst low trust.
«We are banking on the support of this administration, said Majed al-Ansari, indicating that Trump's team played a critical role in securing the ceasefire deal. »
«Hostage and prisoner releases have also been spaced out to allow time for coordination, which was a significant factor in previous ceasefire failures. »
