ISRAEL-PALESTINIANS/ (TV, PIX):Israel battles Hamas in Gaza as space for displaced families narrows
Ceasefire talks were continuing in Cairo with little sign of a concrete breakthrough over key issues separating the sides, including future control over two corridors in the Gaza Strip once fighting ends.
“Every day they say talks are progressing, an agreement is close, then all falls like dust. Do negotiators know that every day more families get wiped out by Israeli bombardment? Does the world understand that every day more costs us more lives?” she told Reuters via a chat app. The conflict was triggered after Hamas militants stormed into southern Israel on October 7th killing 1,200 and taking more than 250 hostages, by Israeli tallies.
As the fighting continued, negotiators in Cairo continued meetings aimed at halting the fighting and bringing 109 Israeli and foreign hostages home in an exchange deal for Palestinian prisoners.
