Qatar, Egypt, Turkey condemn Israeli military action in Gaza, say it undermines path to peace
Jerusalem Post ^ | AUGUST 4, 2026 | ESTHER DAVIS

Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey denounced "ongoing Israeli violations in Gaza," in a joint statement on Monday.

The statement, which was posted on X/Twitter, said that the "mediating countries" of Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey, were condemning Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip, claiming that Israel was committing a "flagrant violation of international law," through the "targeting of healthcare facilities and medical infrastructure, and the resulting civilian casualties, including women and children."

It added that Israel's actions were undermining and threatening "the path toward de-escalation."

On Friday US President Donald Trump announced that the Board of Peace had reached an agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump explained that the agreement marked a "critical step towards Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian government that will work closely with the Board of Peace to help the Palestinian people."

The agreement marked the first time that Hamas and other Palestinian factions had agreed to the whole plan for Gaza.

The joint statement highlighted this, warning that continued Israeli military action in Gaza "undermines efforts aimed at implementing its [the ceasefire agreement's] second phase."

It concluded by calling on the international community to "assume its responsibilities and exert the necessary pressure on Israel to fulfill its obligations under international law and the ceasefire agreement, in a manner that ensures the completion of President Trump’s peace plan.

"The mediators stress the need to prevent any undermining of the efforts aimed at achieving a sustainable de-escalation, leading to a permanent ceasefire and an end to the humanitarian suffering in the Gaza Strip."

Recent IDF action in Gaza

The IDF killed a Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) terrorist, Mahmoud Fatair, a commander in the PIJ's Central Gaza Brigade who infiltrated Israel on October 7 and took part in holding Rom Braslavski hostage, the military confirmed on Monday.

According to the statement, the IDF conducted strikes in the Deir al-Balah area in Gaza over the weekend, targeting and killing Fatair.

In the last few weeks the IDF carried out a series of targeted strikes against Hamas, PIJ, and Jaish al-Islam (Army of Islam) operatives, including killing terrorists who participated in the October 7 attacks.

The IDF killed Alaa Imad Khamis Tarams, a terrorist from Jaish al-Islam in Gaza City, as well as Hassan Ibrahim Shehadeh Qahman from PIJ, the IDF spokesperson announced on Saturday.

The IDF also stated that they had killed Ahmad Khudar, a commander in Hamas's Jabalya Battalion, the week before.

Good. The killing of terrorists who participated in the Oct. 7 atrocities will continue, as they should, agreement or no agreement.

<< undermines path to peace >>

That’s rich coming from this bunch.

Just ask the Kurds in Southern Turkey about Turkey’s “path to peace.”

There is no path to peace that leaves Hamas alive and in the territory.

It possibly made sense to pause on Hamas if we were going to go after the head of the snake in Tehran. But that seems to be bogging down, so it may be time for Israel to finish Hamas. Just do it.

Iran is working in opposition to the Abraham Accords
Promising no attacks on their neighbors with explicit support for ending Israeli ‘aggression’

Here is where Trump is going to see how a caliphate really operates. They will join forces and work it out later. Boots on the ground is only answer. Now we will see if the US or Iran has more to offer Mid-East ‘partners’

"Who" represents the "mediating countries". This is pure BS.

REMEMBER, Hamas used Schools, Hospitals, and religious buildings to protect rocket storage and launchers.

Smoke em ALL

When Israel controlled Gaza, 5000 Christians flourished in ancient communities. Since Israel handed Gaza over to the 7th Century savages in 2005, Christians have been persecuted. the number of Christians in Gaza has diminished from 5000 to 800.

“Do Turks have no self awareness ?”

Nope! None at all. OK place while it had a secular government but now it is just another Muslim Uber Alles caliphate wanna-be.

Get the feeling Trump is getting stuck in Iran because he listens to Qatar & Saudi Arabia and Turkey far more than he does to Israel. It is like trying to strike a deal with Japan after retaking the Philippines but without beating them...
