Cairo talks end with consensus on Gaza truce mechanism — state-linked media

Negotiators from Egypt, Qatar, the United States and Israel agreed Friday on “all necessary arrangements to implement” the Gaza truce deal, expected to take effect on Sunday, Egyptian state-linked media reports.

Citing an informed Egyptian source, Al-Qahera News says that technical meetings which started in Cairo on Friday ended “on a positive note.”

During today’s talks, the negotiators agreed to form a joint operations room in Cairo to “ensure effective coordination” and compliance with the truce terms, the source said.

It adds that the room will include representatives from Egypt, Qatar, the United States, Israel and the Palestinian territories.

Trucks have been waiting on the Egyptian side of the border, where the Egyptian foreign ministry called on Thursday for the rapid, safe and effective distribution of humanitarian aid.
