Hamas and Israel Engage in Crucial Ceasefire Talks in Cairo

As the Ramadan month approaches, both sides face pressure to reach an agreement that includes hostage releases and increased aid to Gaza.

A Hamas delegation has arrived in Cairo for crucial ceasefire talks, with a potential deal aiming to halt the fighting in Gaza for six weeks.
The proposed ceasefire agreement includes the release of dozens of hostages in exchange for hundreds of Palestinian detainees, alongside increased aid to Gaza.
Negotiations are under pressure as the Muslim holy month of Ramadan approaches, with both sides facing international calls for a truce.
Internal political tensions in Israel's wartime cabinet, particularly between Prime Minister Netanyahu and his top political rival, Benny Gantz, add complexity to ceasefire efforts.
Recent violence, including airstrikes and a deadly incident at a food convoy, has heightened the urgency for a ceasefire agreement.
