CIA boss William Burns, Mossad chief David Barnea and Qatar's head of government, Mohammed bin Abdelrahmane Al-Thani, meet in Cairo. Hamas said it was “open to the idea of discussing any initiative to put an end to the aggression and the war,” one of its executives assured AFP under the cover of anonymity.
U.S. President Joe Biden announced that an agreement to release hostages held by Hamas, accompanied by a pause of “at least six weeks” in hostilities with Israel, was currently under discussion.
