Qatar pledged $500 million for the postwar reconstruction of the Gaza Strip after the latest round of hostilities between Hamas and Israel, while Egypt called on the two sides to hold talks in Cairo to solidify the ceasefire reached on Friday.
The Gulf state often serves as a mediator between Israel and Hamas and it has contributed hundreds of millions of dollars in humanitarian and development aid to support past ceasefires.
