Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump's envoy, is set to host key Middle Eastern officials on Friday in a pivotal meeting intended to bolster the fragile Gaza ceasefire. The gathering in Miami aims to transition the agreement into its second phase, with Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey joining discussions.
The ceasefire, which began on October 10, follows over two years of conflict and includes significant exchanges, such as Hamas releasing hostages and Israel facilitating aid to Gaza. The upcoming phase involves assembling an international security force and forming a technocratic government in Gaza.
Turkey's Foreign Minister and Qatar's Prime Minister have confirmed their participation to address contentious issues, like Israeli opposition to potential international forces and the territory's humanitarian needs. As civilian struggles continue, the success of the talks holds substantial geopolitical weight.
