On February 13th, Cairo News Television reported that Egypt and Qatar are increasing their mediation efforts to prevent the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip from breaking. According to a source cited in the report, Egypt and Qatar are working hard to persuade both sides of the Israeli Palestinian conflict to comply with the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip, and warning that the rupture of the ceasefire agreement could trigger a new round of violence, causing serious impact and losses to the region. The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) said in a statement that a delegation led by senior Hamas official Khalil Hayah arrived in Cairo, Egypt earlier that day to meet with Egyptian officials to discuss the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and the exchange of detainees. According to an anonymous Egyptian source, Hamas has expressed its willingness to release a group of Israeli detainees according to the agreement on the 15th, but has refused the demands of US President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to release all Israeli detainees.
