Egypt is set to host talks involving CIA Director William Burns to discuss the release of hostages, with representatives from Hamas, Israel, and Qatar expected to participate. The talks come amidst protests in Israel demanding action on the hostages’ release and Hamas standing firm on its demands for a ceasefire. US President Biden has urged Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to push for a deal, with American officials pointing fingers at Hamas for the lack of progress. The Qatari UN Ambassador met with the families of the hostages, expressing hope for an agreement and urging continued pressure on the Israeli government.
