Stalled talks aimed at securing a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas are expected to restart in earnest in Qatar as soon as Sunday, according to Egyptian officials.
The talks would mark the first time both Israeli officials and Hamas leaders joined the indirect negotiations since the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. International mediators had hoped to secure a six-week truce before Ramadan started earlier this week, but Hamas refused any deal that wouldn’t lead to a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, a demand Israel rejected.
Nearly one in three children under two years old in the isolated north are suffering acute malnutrition, UNICEF reported Friday. Netanyahu's office also said Friday he approved military plans to attack Rafah, the southernmost town in Gaza where some 1.4 million displaced Palestinians -- more than half the enclave's population -- are sheltering.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Friday that the U.S. has yet to see "a clear and implementable plan" to safeguard innocent people in Rafah from an Israeli incursion. The group said Saturday it was preparing another vessel in Cyprus with hundreds of tons of Gaza-bound aid. Lolling with bright blue yoga mats, sleeping masks and travel pillows, hundreds of Mexicans laid sprawled out on the ground at the base of the city’s iconic Monument to the Revolution to take a nap. Dubbed the "mass siesta," the event was in commemoration of World Sleep Day.
