Egypt, Turkey, Qatar reassure Hezbollah on Gaza humanitarian efforts

Officials from Egypt, Turkey and Qatar have informed several sides in Gaza and Beirut that there are strong efforts to resolve the humanitarian file amid the ongoing war and siege on Gaza, a media report said.

“These (humanitarian) steps will be imposed on the Israelis and the talks that took place with the U.S. side have focused on this step,” al-Akhbar newspaper quoted the officials as saying.

“These capitals have intentionally informed Hezbollah of the matter, after the U.S. asked them to urge the party not to get involved in the war,” the daily said.

“These messages were received after Western officials learned that Hezbollah was not exclusively linking its intervention to the expansion of the military operation against the (Gaza) Strip but also to the aggravation of the humanitarian crisis in it,” the newspaper said.
