DEVELOPING: Overnight Strikes Rock Gaza Ahead of Critical Peace Talks

Breaking News: Overnight Strikes Rock Gaza Ahead of Critical Peace Talks Israeli air strikes continued overnight in the Gaza Strip, despite President Donald Trump's call for a ceasefire on Friday. The strikes come just hours before indirect negotiations between Hamas and Israel are set to begin in Egypt. The talks aim to resolve the war in Gaza, with the US and Israel pushing for the swift release of hostages. Hamas has agreed to some parts of a 20-point peace plan, including releasing hostages and handing over governance to Palestinian technocrats. However, key demands from Hamas, such as disarmament and no future role in Gaza's governance, remain unresolved. Israeli government spokesperson Shosh Bedrosian confirmed that "while certain bombings have stopped inside the Gaza Strip, there is no ceasefire in place at this point in time." Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given orders to "fire back for defensive purposes," according to Bedrosian. The situation remains tense as negotiations are set to begin.
