Cairo: Ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel are set to resume in Cairo on Wednesday. Delegations from Egypt, Qatar and the US and Israel will take part in the talks on Wednesday and Thursday.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken also arrived in Tel Aviv on Sunday to take the talks forward. This is his 10th visit to Israel since the war began. Meanwhile, Israel attacked 40 targets in Gaza. 24 people were killed in this. The dead also include a woman and her six children.

Israel claims to have killed terrorists

Israel has denied targeting civilians. It also said that on Saturday, two Hamas terrorists, Ahmed Abu Ara and Rafet Dawasi, were killed in an airstrike in Jenin in the occupied West Bank. The US Secretary of State will also meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials during his visit.

What did Netanyahu say on the talks?

Netanyahu said in a cabinet meeting on Sunday that Israel is engaged in talks for the return of its hostages held in Gaza. But during the talks, those principles have to be maintained as well, which are important for security. There are some things about which we can be flexible and some about which we cannot be flexible and we insist on them. We know very well how to differentiate between the two.

Hamas's big accusation on Netanyahu

Hamas accused Netanyahu of introducing new conditions to hinder the talks. The details of the talks have not been made public, but there are differences on several key issues. Meanwhile, three UN peacekeepers were injured in an explosion near the southern village of Yarin in Lebanon. The peacekeeping mission said the incident was under investigation. The mission said a dozen peacekeepers have been injured since Hezbollah's attack and retaliation.
