After more than half a year, negotiations between Israel and the Islamist terrorist group Hamas remain deadlocked. Hamas recently rejected a cease-fire proposal by Israel, stating on April 13 that the response to last week’s proposal was being handed to mediators in Egypt and Qatar.

“It has been over a week since the Cairo meeting—Hamas has rejected the outline that was tabled by the mediators,” the office of Israel’s prime minister and Mossad posted on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, on April 14.
