In a joint statement issued in Cairo, the three mediators said the continued strikes had resulted in civilian casualties, including women and children, and constituted a "flagrant violation" of international law and international humanitarian law.

The mediators urged Israel to comply fully with its obligations under international law and honour all commitments under the ceasefire agreement, saying the ongoing violations represent a breach of the truce and undermine diplomatic efforts to implement its second phase.

The statement highlighted that the violations have continued even after Hamas and other Palestinian factions announced their acceptance of the proposed roadmap for the second phase of the agreement, including provisions related to the confinement of weapons.

Since the October ceasefire went into effect, Israel has committed at least 3,795 violations in Gaza by 19 July, killing over 1,250 Palestinians and injuring 4,110 others, Al Jazeera reported.

Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey warned that the continued military actions threaten efforts to de-escalate the conflict and further worsen the humanitarian crisis facing civilians across the Gaza Strip.

The three countries renewed their call for the protection of civilians, medical facilities and humanitarian workers, while urging unrestricted access for humanitarian aid and medical supplies throughout the enclave.

They also called on the international community to assume its responsibilities by exerting pressure on Israel to meet its obligations under both international law and the ceasefire agreement.

The mediators said such efforts are essential to completing US President Donald Trump's peace plan, noting that Trump had described the consensus reached on the roadmap for the second phase as a "historic agreement."

They stressed the importance of safeguarding ongoing mediation efforts to achieve a sustainable de-escalation, leading to a permanent ceasefire and an end to the humanitarian suffering in Gaza.
