Citing a senior Hamas source, Al-Jazeera said that talks between Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh and Egyptian mediators took place in the past few hours, in which Hamas reiterated its firm stance demanding Israel allow Palestinians to return to the northern Gaza Strip without restrictions, a permanent ceasefire and a complete withdrawal of troops from this land.

Previously, Israel said that the above demands of Hamas were "illusory". It is estimated that about 130 Israeli hostages are still being held in Gaza.

Meanwhile, according to Sputnik, in a joint letter to President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken, 40 members of the US Congress (including former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi) called for a halt to the transfer of offensive weapons to Israel after the Jewish State's bloody attack on the humanitarian convoy of the World Central Kitchen (WCK) organization in the Gaza Strip.

The letter reads: "We write to express our shared concern and outrage over the recent Israeli airstrike that killed seven WCK aid workers, including a US citizen. In light of this incident, we strongly urge you to reconsider your recent decision to authorize the transfer of a new arms package to Israel, and to suspend this and all future offensive arms transfers until a full investigation into this airstrike has been completed."

The letter also calls on Washington to ensure that future military shipments to Israel, including licensed transfers, are “subject to conditions to ensure they are used in accordance with US and international law.”
