Egypt Constructs Safe Zones and Border Wall Amid Israel-Gaza Tensions

Egypt is preparing safe areas for Gaza refugees while also trying to avoid encouraging refugees to leave Gaza, as the ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas show little progress. Qatar's prime minister expressed pessimism about the talks, citing disputes over humanitarian aid and the release of prisoners. The Israeli president suggested that Hamas militants may be avoiding contact with the Qatar mediator to prevent Israel from tracking their whereabouts. The Saudi foreign minister reiterated the importance of a Palestinian state for regional security and stability.
