"Israel and Hamas Negotiate Hostage Deal and Cease-Fire Amid U.S. Envoy's Visit"
TL;DR Summary
U.S. envoy Brett McGurk is in Qatar discussing a potential new hostage deal between Israel and Hamas, with little progress reported so far. Israel has offered a two-month pause in fighting in exchange for a phased release of remaining hostages, but hard-right members of the Israeli cabinet have expressed misgivings. Humanitarian organizations have reported thousands of civilians trapped in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, where intense fighting continues, and there are concerns about the safety of hospitals and shelters in the area.
