Today, a new round of negotiations between Israel and Hamas regarding a potential ceasefire is being held in Cairo.
Egyptian media say a new round of negotiations between Israel and Hamas about a potential ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the release of hostages is set to take place in Cairo today.
The Israeli Prime Minister’s office says Benjamin Netanyahu has dispatched a delegation of security and intelligence officials to the capitals of Qatar and Egypt.
A Palestinian source told the BBC that Hamas officials will wait for news from the mediators before joining the indirect negotiations.
The families of the Israeli hostages are increasing pressure on Netanyahu to secure the release of their loved ones.
On Saturday night, thousands of people in Tel Aviv and several other Israeli cities protested against the government, demanding the Prime Minister take action to secure the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas.
At a press conference, the families of the hostages criticized Benjamin Netanyahu and called for new elections to replace him.
