Negotiators will renew a push for a ceasefire and hostage release deal.
Displaced Palestinians gather for Iftar during the holy month of Ramadan, in Rafah on April 6., Palestinian Territories - The war between Israel and Hamas entered its seventh month on April 7 as the US and other negotiators were expected to join the protagonists in Cairo in a renewed push for a ceasefire and hostage release deal.
The admission over the deaths of the workers from US-based World Central Kitchen on April 1 did not quell calls for an independent probe. Palestinian militants also took around 250 Israeli and foreign hostages, about 130 of whom remain in Gaza, including more than 30 the military says are dead. Stop-start talks have made no headway since a week-long truce in November saw some hostages exchanged for Palestinian prisoners detained by Israel.
Mr Biden is under pressure over massive US military aid to Israel, which Washington so far has not leveraged despite increasingly critical comments about Israel’s conduct of the war. Ten of thousands of Israelis, including Mr Lapid, protested against Mr Netanyahu in Tel Aviv and other cities on April 6, demanding “elections now”.British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on April 6 that “this terrible conflict must end”.
