JAKARTA - The White House announced President Joe Biden had spoken with Qatari and Egyptian leaders to try to reach a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip and release of detained Israeli hostages Hamas.
"President Biden spoke with Amir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani of Qatar and separately spoke with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi to discuss diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement and release of hostages," the White House said in a statement, quoted by Antara, Saturday, August 24.
News of Biden's talks with Qatari and Egyptian leaders surfaced after US media reported that Biden asked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to withdraw his troops from the Gaza border with Egypt in order for negotiations on the release of hostages and a ceasefire agreement to continue.
Israeli officials quoted in the media report said Biden asked Israeli troops to be withdrawn from a small part of Philadelph's corridor during the first phase of the deal.
