Cairo, Oct. 8 (Xinhua) — Senior diplomatic and intelligence officials from Qatar and Turkey are expected to join ceasefire talks in Egypt's Gaza Strip on Wednesday.

Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Thani will travel to the city of Sharm el-Sheikh to join the talks, the Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday.

Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman Majid bin Mohammed al-Ansari said on social media that the prime minister's participation comes at a "critical stage in the negotiations," confirming the mediators' determination to reach an agreement.

At the same time, the head of Turkey's National Intelligence Organization, Ibrahim Kalin, is also expected to take part in the talks, Turkey's semi-official Anadolu Agency reported, citing sources in the security agencies.

I. Kalin's participation will focus on achieving a ceasefire, facilitating the exchange of prisoners, and ensuring the delivery of humanitarian aid to the enclave.

The current round of indirect ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel, brokered by Egypt and Qatar, began on Monday in Sharm el-Sheikh.

The talks are focused on a 20-point proposal unveiled by US President Donald Trump after his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House in September. –0–
