Since last October 7, Israel has been waging a devastating war on the Gaza Strip, which to date has left more than 118,000 martyrs and wounded, more than 10,000 missing, and massive destruction in residential neighborhoods, infrastructure, and hospitals.
Qatar and Egypt, with the participation of the United States, are leading indirect mediation between the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and Israel in an effort to reach an agreement that guarantees a ceasefire and the exchange of prisoners and detainees.
