Gaza's Endless Cycle of Violence: What's at Stake in Cairo Talks The latest round of diplomatic shuttle diplomacy is set to kick off in Cairo this weekend, as Hamas leader Khalil al Hayya meets with Egyptian officials ahead of a planned visit by US President Donald Trump's envoy, Jared Kushner.
These talks come at a particularly tumultuous time for Gaza, where the death toll continues to rise and Israeli military actions have become increasingly brazen.
A proposed ceasefire plan has been repeatedly rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who insists that Hamas must first disband its armed wing before any withdrawal of troops can take place.
