LIVE: Gaza’s ‘safe zones’ targeted by Israel as Cairo hosts peace talks

The talks, which are part of ongoing diplomatic efforts, aim to bring an end to nearly two years of intense conflict that has caused significant humanitarian and geopolitical challenges. The discussions involve key stakeholders, including representatives from Israel and other involved parties, who are seeking a negotiated resolution to halt the violence and restore stability in the region. Israel’s leader has expressed optimism and hope that these negotiations will result not only in a ceasefire but also in the release of captives who have been held during the conflict. The release of these prisoners is seen as a crucial step towards building trust and paving the way for longer-term peace agreements. These talks are being closely monitored by the international community, which has shown strong support for a peaceful resolution to the war. The successful conclusion of the negotiations could potentially lead to improved security for civilians, humanitarian relief, and a foundation for addressing the root causes of the conflict.
