The US is optimistic about the progress of the talks in Cairo for a ceasefire in Gaza. The talks involve the President of Egypt, the Emir of Qatar, the heads of Mossad and Shin Bet, the CIA director, and the White House coordinator.
Hamas is not participating in the talks, as they demand the implementation of a previous proposal. Netanyahu refuses to withdraw his forces, especially from the Philadelphia Corridor.
Palestinian movement officials and Gaza residents express disappointment. The Israeli armed forces and Hezbollah continue the battles.
Israel is accused of assassinating the Hamas leader, while Iran and its allies threaten retaliation. The US, Egypt, and Qatar are mediating between Israel and Hamas, with the aim of achieving a ceasefire, releasing hostages, and providing aid to the Palestinian population.
The situation remains tense, with ongoing rocket attacks from Gaza and clashes between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon. Israel is also carrying out airstrikes on pro-Iranian militias in Syria.
The Israeli army is planning a new military operation in Gaza and has called for the evacuation of residents in certain areas. The talks are ongoing, with hopes of reaching a deal amidst the ongoing violence and threats.
