Gaza Ceasefire Talks Expected To Resume This Week
12 weeks ago
Hamas appears to have given initial approval for a U.S.-backed proposal for a phased cease-fire deal in Gaza, dropping a key demand that Israel give an up-front commitment for a complete end to the war. The apparent compromise by the militant group could help deliver the first pause in fighting since November and set the stage for further talks. But all sides warn that a deal is still not guaranteed. The officials say Hamas wants “written guarantees” from mediators that Israel will continue to negotiate a permanent cease-fire deal once the first phase goes into effect.

After hitting Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and downgrading to a tropical storm, Beryl is expected to become a hurricane again as it hurtles towards southern Texas by Sunday evening. Hurricane Beryl’s explosive growth into an unprecedented early storm is due to hot water in the Atlantic and Caribbean … a bad omen for the season ahead. Beryl smashed storm records even before its major hurricane-level winds approached land. Experts say that's primarily due to water temperatures as hot as the peak of hurricane season, in September.
