The United States, Egypt, and Qatar are working to broker a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas to end the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip. Israeli airstrikes have killed at least 20 Palestinians, according to medics. Negotiators have made progress on most of the agreement's clauses, but Israel has introduced conditions that Hamas has rejected. Talks are ongoing in Cairo, and an agreement could be signed in the coming days. The US administration, along with mediators from Egypt and Qatar, is intensifying efforts to reach a resolution before President Joe Biden leaves office next month.
