"Cease-fire Negotiations Intensify as Hamas Arrives in Cairo and Israel Puts Deal 'on the Table'"

A delegation from Hamas has arrived in Cairo for crucial talks on a potential six-week cease-fire deal with Israel, with a U.S. official stating that a framework deal is already on the table. The talks are focused on freeing hostages, ramping up aid to Gaza, and halting the fighting in time for the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. The final days leading up to the anticipated truce have been marked by a deadly airstrike on a food convoy and ongoing violence, with both sides giving little information on the state of progress.
