Israel-Hamas war: negotiations for a truce in fighting resume in Cairo. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced this Friday that he had given the green light to new talks with a view to a truce.

Hundreds of demonstrators challenged the government, urging it to find a solution to obtain the release of people taken hostage during the Hamas offensive in Israel. The war was triggered by an unprecedented attack carried out from the Gaza Strip by Hamas on October 7 in Israel which resulted in the deaths of at least 1,160 people.
