Ceasefire talks in Cairo face a hurdle as Israel demands assurance on the hostages' fate before attending. Reports suggest Israel has tentatively accepted the deal, contingent on confirmation from Hamas. The proposed six-week pause aims at releasing more Israeli hostages and Palestinian prisoners. Pressure mounts for a ceasefire after a deadly incident during an aid convoy rush outside Gaza City. Hamas accuses Israel of shooting at civilians, a claim Israel denies. Amid conflicting accounts, talks aim to address the humanitarian crisis and release hostages. Expectations rise for a potential truce agreement within the next 24 to 48 hours.
