Israel-Gaza war: Joe Biden expects a ceasefire from Monday. Delegations from Israel and Hamas are currently in Qatar.
They are speaking separately to intermediaries from the United States, Egypt and Qatar. Both sides accuse each other of delaying talks. Israel is under pressure from its key ally, the U.S., to agree to a ceasefire soon to avert an impending Israeli attack on Rafah. More than half of Gaza Strip's 2.3 million residents have sought refuge in the city on the border with Egypt.
