UK, France, and Germany join US, Qatar, and Egypt in urging an immediate Gaza ceasefire, supporting the implementation of Biden's 3-phase truce plan.

UK, France, and Germany call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, with leaders endorsing the US, Qatar, and Egypt's efforts to broker a truce agreement between Israel and Hamas. Hamas has expressed a preference for the implementation of Biden's truce plan rather than further negotiations or new proposals. The plan consists of three phases: a six-week ceasefire with Israeli forces withdrawing from "all populated areas of Gaza" and some hostages released, followed by the release of remaining living hostages and a permanent end to hostilities, and concluding with a major reconstruction plan for Gaza and the return of dead hostages' remains.
