The White House announced on Friday evening that the United States is working to facilitate reaching another agreement on a prisoner exchange deal between Israel and Hamas, without suggesting that there will be any "imminent developments."

"We should not expect any imminent developments," White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters.

In this context, the US President, Joe Biden, telephoned the Emir of Qatar, Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and the Egyptian President, Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, where they discussed the latest developments in the war on Gaza and the efforts made to conclude a prisoner exchange deal and bring aid into the Strip.

A statement by the Qatari Emiri Diwan said, "Prince Tamim stressed the necessity of strengthening regional and international cooperation in order to achieve an immediate ceasefire, spare the blood of civilians in Gaza, and protect them."

He also stressed the necessity of "continuing to open the crossings for the sustainable entry of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip in order to enhance peace and stability in the Middle East region."

According to the Egyptian presidency, the call between Sisi and Biden discussed ways to strengthen bilateral relations and confirm the strategic partnership between the two countries. The regional situation in the Middle East, especially the war in the Gaza Strip, was also discussed.

The two presidents discussed developments in the ongoing efforts to reach a humanitarian ceasefire with the aim of protecting civilians, exchanging detainees, hostages and prisoners, and implementing humanitarian aid, in a way that pushes towards reducing tension and ending the current situation. According to what was stated by the Egyptian presidency.

It added that Sisi "was keen to review Egyptian initiatives and efforts to communicate with the parties concerned with the aim of reaching an immediate ceasefire, pointing to the extraordinary efforts Egypt has made over the past months to bring in humanitarian aid, and the challenges and difficulties that this process faces that must be overcome."

He stressed that "Egypt will continue its efforts to provide support to the people of the Gaza Strip to alleviate the burden of the ongoing humanitarian tragedy on them, and stressed the need for the international community to assume its responsibilities towards achieving these goals."

The two presidents affirmed their countries' firm position of rejecting any attempts to displace the Palestinians outside their lands, while agreeing on the two-state solution as the basis for supporting security and stability in the Middle East.
