Ceasefire negotiations in Cairo aimed at ending the war in Gaza have ended without progress, according to Egyptian and Palestinian sources.
Hamas continues to demand that any agreement must include a permanent end to the conflict, while Israel insists on continuing its military campaign until Hamas is defeated. Despite Egypt receiving a new Israeli proposal, no compromise was reached. The deadlock prolongs the suffering in Gaza, where deadly Israeli airstrikes continued over the weekend.
The failure of talks underscores the deep divide between the two sides and the challenges facing mediators.

Hard to make peace when one side won’t stop hiding behind civilians and the other’s just trying to eliminate a terrorist threat.
This is what happens when governments refuse to back down and prioritize power over people’s lives. Both sides are using civilians as pawns in a never-ending war, and taxpayers around the world are footing the bill. Maybe if we stopped meddling in foreign conflicts and focused on non-intervention, we wouldn’t be fueling this mess.

Gaza truce talks end with no apparent breakthrough: sources
STORY: After a weekend of deadly Israeli strikes across Gaza, there's still no end in sight to the war for Palestinians there.Sources told Reuters on Monday, the latest round of talks in Cairo to restore the defunct ceasefire and free Israeli hostages has now ended with no apparent breakthrough.
It’s heartbreaking but not surprising—Israel keeps rejecting any real path to peace while continuing to bomb civilians. Hamas asking for a permanent end to the war isn’t extreme, it’s basic humanity.
