Israel Boycotts Gaza Ceasefire Talks in Cairo Amid Hostage Dispute

Hamas officials have arrived in Cairo for truce talks, but Israel did not send a delegation after Hamas refused to share a list of captives still alive in Gaza. A US official indicated that Israel had endorsed a framework for a temporary ceasefire and exchange of hostages and prisoners, but Hamas continues to demand a complete military withdrawal from Gaza. The potential truce deal could also involve aid deliveries to address the looming famine in Gaza, with growing pressure to reach an agreement before the start of Ramadan.
