CAIRO – 27 July 2024: Rome is set to host a crucial gathering on Sunday, bringing together senior officials from Egypt, Qatar, and Israel to confer with CIA Director William Burns. Meanwhile, Tel Aviv insists any deal must allow Israeli forces to resume military operations post-truce until Hamas is neutralized. The US offer proposes a phased approach to end the Gaza war and secure the release of all Israeli captives held in the enclave. These talks also occur alongside a visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington. In a meeting with Biden, Netanyahu was also urged to reach a resolution with Hamas based on the US-supported agreement.
