GL HERO SHIMA Posted March 31, 2024 Posted March 31, 2024 Gaza ceasefire talks to resume in Cairo – reports Talks aimed at brokering a truce between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip will resume in Cairo on Sunday, Egyptian outlet Al-Qahera reported, days after Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, gave the green light for fresh negotiations. “An Egyptian security source confirmed to Al-Qahera news the resumption of negotiations on a truce between Israel and Hamas in the Egyptian capital Cairo tomorrow,” an anchor for the channel, which is close to country’s intelligence services, said in a broadcast on Saturday. Egypt, Qatar and the US have mediated previous rounds of negotiations, but a workable agreement has remained elusive. The mediators had hoped to secure a ceasefire before the start of Ramadan, but progress stalled and the Muslim holy month is more than half over. On Friday, Netanyahu approved a new round of ceasefire negotiations to take place in Doha and Cairo. Reports of the new talks in Cairo came as protesters in Israel’s biggest city blocked a major road Saturday after demonstrations calling for the release of hostages held in Gaza and criticising the government’s handling of the war. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2024/mar/31/middle-east-crisis-live-gaza-israel-ceasefire-talks-latest-live-news-updates
