Israel, Hamas inch closer to Gaza cease-fire deal, but gaps remain
==========
Israel and Hamas are getting closer to a cease-fire deal for Gaza, but there are still disagreements over details and new Israeli demands. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office denied negotiating with Egypt over withdrawing troops from the Philadelphi Corridor. The negotiations involve the United States, Qatar, and Egypt as mediators. President Biden expressed confidence in reaching a deal, but there are still gaps to close. Israeli media accused Netanyahu of intentionally stalling the process. Hamas accused Netanyahu of procrastination. The families of hostages in Hamas captivity have been demanding that Netanyahu complete the deal. Netanyahu's visit to Washington is uncertain, and his relationship with Biden has become strained. The proposed agreement includes a six-week initial stage with a cease-fire and humanitarian aid, followed by negotiations for a permanent truce and Gaza reconstruction. Israel's insistence on remaining in the Philadelphi Corridor violates the framework plan. The war has shifted from northern Gaza to Rafah, causing displacement and dire conditions. The conflict has been ongoing for years, and tensions have spilled into the surrounding areas. The roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are deep and complex. The ICC has charged Israeli officials with starving Gaza. Cigarette smuggling in Gaza fuels attacks on aid trucks.
