Why did Hamas come out of the ceasefire talks in Gaza without any deal?

Thursday, March 7, 2024

The Hamas delegation has walked out of the ceasefire talks in Gaza in the Egyptian capital Cairo without any deal.

However, Hamas says that indirect talks with Israel are not over yet. Hamas had expressed hope that a 40-day ceasefire could be reached at the beginning of the month of Ramadan.

Israel did not send its delegation to Cairo.

Israel said it wanted a list of surviving Israeli hostages who would be released under the deal.

Hamas has said that Israel has not accepted the demand for the return of Palestinians displaced by the war from their places, nor has it accepted the demand for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza cities.

According to Gaza's Health Ministry, more than 30 thousand people have died so far in the Israeli attack. On October 7, 2023, about 1,200 people were killed in the Hamas attack on Israel.
