ALBAWABA - Representatives from Hamas, Qatar and the United States have arrived in Egypt's Cairo to renew talks of a possible truce in Gaza ahead of Ramadan 2024, Egyptian media reported on Sunday.
Al-Qahera News reported that delegations arrived in Egypt with the hope of achieving an improvement in truce talks in Gaza as the war is about to enter its fifth month.
Reports revealed that Cairo, Washington and Doha have been playing an important role in the past few weeks to pause the war which started last October and during which at least 30,410 people have been killed, mostly women and children, in Israeli attacks.
The new proposal of the deal suggests a pause in fighting for six weeks and for Hamas to free hostages. Meanwhile, under the expected deal, Israel is asked to release a number of Palestinian prisoners from jails and allow more aid trucks to enter Gaza.
On Oct. 7, Hamas announced the al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel which is the largest offensive in decades. Hamas fighters took 250 hostages, of whom 130 remain in captivity according to Israeli authorities, while 31 are presumed dead.
Al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel
Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.
Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip, captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.
In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Since then, approximately 85% of Gazans have been displaced, all of whom are suffering from severe food insecurity, and the healthcare system has collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of people lack shelter, and aid trucks are entering the area at a lower rate than before the conflict began.
