Saud bin Thamer Al Thani, Abdullah Ghanem Al-Khayarin, and Hassan Jaber Al-Jaber, employees of Qatar's foreign ministry, were killed in a car crash on their way from Cairo to Sharm el-Sheikh on Saturday, the ministry confirmed on Sunday.
Three others were injured in the incident and evacuated to the hospital for medical treatment.
An Egyptian source revealed that though these were ministry employees, they were not participating in the deal negotiations between Israel and Hamas, Maariv noted.
Ceasefire negotiations in Egypt
The Gaza deal agreement was announced after intensive talks in Sharm el-Sheikh, where US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and US President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner pushed the two parties to an agreement, along with Qatari and Egyptian mediators.
Twenty living hostages are expected to be released on the morning of Monday, October 13, following the partial withdrawal of the IDF in the Gaza Strip, as the ceasefire went into effect.
