US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said that his country is seeking to reach a temporary truce in Gaza as part of a possible prisoner exchange deal. Israel witnessed protests against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to freeze talks on detainees.
Yesterday, Cairo witnessed a new round of negotiations with Israeli and American participation, and reports stated that the talks did not make progress in light of Tel Aviv’s rejection of a number of demands that Hamas had previously presented to the mediators. According to Tel Aviv estimates, there are still about 130 Israelis detained in Gaza, and 30 of them are likely killed.
