Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty announced that negotiations are underway for a 60-day ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages. The talks, involving Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, aim to deliver urgent medical aid to Gaza and implement the terms of a January 19 agreement. Abdel Aty emphasized that the move is a critical first step toward a permanent truce and warned that any renewed aggression would pose a major threat to regional stability.
