Hamas is set to meet with Egyptian mediators in Cairo to discuss a Gaza ceasefire, with the group stating that disarmament is not up for negotiation. Talks between Hamas and Israel have not produced a breakthrough, and Hamas rejected Israel's latest proposal for a partial ceasefire. The previous truce brokered by Qatar, the US, and Egypt collapsed due to disagreements over the terms of the next stage. Hamas is seeking negotiations for a permanent end to the war, while Israel wants to extend the terms of the first phase.
