Tensions are escalating as Qatar and Saudi Arabia issue a stark warning to Israel amid renewed airstrikes and rising instability in Gaza. Qatari Prime Minister Al Thani emphasized that the current truce is merely a temporary pause — not a genuine ceasefire — unless Israel completely withdraws from Palestinian territory.
Concerns are growing over Israel’s shift toward the “yellow line” and its delay in reopening the Rafah crossing, moves that many fear signal an intention to retain control over Gaza land.
Turkey’s Hakan Fidan, echoing Qatar’s stance, insists that disarmament should only occur after an international stabilization force arrives — consistent with statements reported by AFP (6/12/2025). Meanwhile, Qatar, Turkey, Egypt, and the United States are coordinating closely to push the peace process forward.
Washington is preparing to launch Phase Two of its plan, which includes establishing a new technocratic authority and deploying a stabilization force. Yet Al Thani warns that Phase Two is only temporary and must tackle the deeper root causes of conflict in both Gaza and the West Bank.
