Cairo: Three Qatari diplomats were killed in a car crash near Egypt's Red Sea resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh, Qatar's Embassy in Egypt said in a post on X on Sunday.

The embassy said two others were wounded and were receiving necessary medical treatment at the city's hospital.

It said the injured and the bodies of the deceased would be repatriated to Doha.

It's unclear if the diplomats were members of Qatar's negotiating team, which along with Egyptian officials in Sharm el-Sheikh helped deliver earlier this week an agreement between Israel and Hamas on the first phase of US President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza.

The Egyptian city is set to host on Monday a global summit aimed at finalizing an agreement.
