TEL AVIV, Israel — A delegation of the Palestinian militant group Hamas was in Cairo on Saturday as Egyptian state media reported “noticeable progress” in ongoing cease-fire talks with Israel while an Israeli official downplayed the prospects for a full end to the war. Pressure has been mounting to reach a deal – Gaza‘s humanitarian […]
The U.S. accused Hamas of seizing a major shipment of humanitarian aid delivered to Gaza this week.
