US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to the Middle East on Sunday to support negotiations on a new truce between Israel and Hamas. Dozens of people were killed in nighttime strikes in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, according to Hamas.
The leader of Hamas, Ismaïl Haniyeh, based in Qatar, is still expected in Egypt to discuss a proposal developed during a meeting at the end of January in Paris between the head of the CIA, William Burns, and Egyptian officials.
