The leaders of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt, the three countries that have acted as mediators for ongoing negotiations between Israel and Hamas, have urged both sides to return to the negotiating table.

President Joe Biden, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el Sisi, and Qatari Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani released a joint statement on Thursday evening calling on both parties “to conclude the ceasefire and hostages and detainees release deal.”
