Qatar and Britain discussed, on Saturday, ensuring the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip and the prisoner exchange agreement, which will come into effect tomorrow morning, Sunday.

This came during a phone call made by Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani with British Foreign Secretary David Lammy, according to the Qatar News Agency (QNA).

According to the agency, the two sides discussed "ways to ensure the full implementation of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip and the exchange of detainees and prisoners."

The Qatari Foreign Minister expressed his country's hope that "both parties would commit to implementing the ceasefire agreement and exchanging detainees and prisoners."

In addition, the agency said that the two sides discussed the latest developments in Syria, and reviewed cooperation relations between the two countries and ways to develop them.

The ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip is scheduled to go into effect at 8:30 local Palestinian time on Sunday morning, according to what was announced by the Qatari Foreign Ministry spokesman, Majed Al-Ansari, on the X platform.

The Israeli government approved the ceasefire agreement in Gaza and the prisoner exchange, at dawn on Saturday, according to the official Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, hours after the Security Cabinet approved it.

On Friday evening, the private Cairo News Channel reported, quoting an informed source whose identity was not revealed, that an international meeting hosted by Cairo had ended with an agreement to form an operations room that includes Egypt, Palestine, Qatar, the United States, and Israel to follow up on the implementation of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza.

Last Wednesday, Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman announced the success of the efforts of mediators (Doha, Cairo and Washington) in reaching an agreement to cease fire in Gaza and exchange prisoners, with implementation to begin tomorrow, Sunday.
