International mediators and Hamas delegates were in Cairo Tuesday for talks to try to secure a pause in the war in Gaza ahead of the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Envoys from the Palestinian militant group and the United States were expected to meet with Qatari and Egyptian mediators for a third day of negotiations over a six-week truce, the exchange of dozens of remaining hostages for hundreds of Palestinian prisoners and the flow of aid to Gaza.
The death of many Palestinians is completely acceptable to them, in fact it’s their strategy towards reaching their goal of the destruction of Israel. I understand wanting a ceasefire, I don’t understand thinking it will last.
