U.S. President Joe Biden said yesterday that it was in the hands of Hamas whether to accept a deal for a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip in exchange for the release of Israeli hostages, as delegations held a third day of talks with no sign of a breakthrough, the Reuters website reports today (March 6, 2024).
Negotiations from the Palestinian militant group, Qatar and Egypt -- but not Israel -- are in Cairo trying to secure a ceasefire with Israel in time for the Muslim fasting month of Ramada, which begins next week.
The deal presented to Hamas would free some hostages captured by Palestinian militants in the October attack that precipitated the war.
