Negotiations between Israel and Hamas for a ceasefire in Gaza are set to restart in Cairo, as reported by Egyptian outlet Al-Qahera. Despite previous mediation attempts by Egypt, Qatar, and the US, an agreement has not been reached. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the talks, aiming to secure the release of hostages held in Gaza since the October 7 attacks. France’s top diplomat also visited Cairo, advocating for a ceasefire and a political settlement. The conflict has resulted in casualties on both sides, with ongoing calls for peace.
