A car with Russian Embassy license plates got into an accident in Tokyo

As a result of a traffic accident in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh, three members of the Qatari delegation that took part in negotiations on the situation in Gaza were killed, El Fagr newspaper writes.

We are talking about the delegation accompanying the Prime Minister of Qatar. According to the AP, the diplomats were from the Qatari protocol group. Abdullah bin Ghanem Al-Khayarin, Hasan Al-Jaber and Saud bin Thamer Al Tan were killed. Three more were injured and were taken to the intensive care unit of the Sharm el-Sheikh International Hospital.

Also, Egyptian journalist Amr Adib, speaking on the Al-Hekaya program on MBC Egypt, reported that the incident occurred approximately 50 km from Sharm el-Sheikh.

The emergency became a high-profile event against the backdrop of tense negotiations on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, in which the Qatari side traditionally takes an active part in mediation.

Qatar, with the participation of Egypt and the United States, began work on negotiations in early October. Doha has welcomed the decision of the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas to agree to US President Donald Trump's plan.

It includes, among other things, a cessation of all hostilities and the withdrawal of Israeli forces “to an agreed line in preparation for the release of the hostages.”

The truce between Israel and Hamas, brokered by the United States, came into force on the night of October 10. An agreement on a ceasefire and the release of hostages was signed on October 9 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt.
