Turkish officials agreed to continue strengthening coordination and cooperation to eliminate all obstacles, ensure the ceasefire's continuity, and prevent further violations.
Turkish spy chief Ibrahim Kalın on Thursday met with Qatar's prime minister and foreign affairs minister in Cairo to discuss transitioning to the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal and increasing joint efforts in coordination with the US.
Egypt’s General Intelligence Service Director, Hassan Rashad, was present as well.
During the meeting, they also agreed to continue strengthening coordination and cooperation with the Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) to remove all obstacles to the continuation of the ceasefire and to prevent violations.
US-backed Gaza deal first phase nearing its end
The meeting in Cairo happened as the first phase of the US-backed Gaza deal nears its end, with only three Israeli hostages still remaining in Gaza, and the IDF retreated behind the Yellow Line in the Gaza Strip.
The IDF retrieved remains from Gaza on Tuesday, which the Hamas terror group said were from a slain hostage.
The terrorists held a small "ceremony" as the remains were being transferred to the Red Cross, in a violation of the agreement.
The IDF arrived with the remains of a slain hostage at the Abu Kabir medical center for identification, the Health Ministry confirmed on Tuesday at 7:20 p.m.
