U.S. CIA Director Bill Burns is expected to travel to Cairo this weekend to meet with his Egyptian and Israeli counterparts and the Qatari prime minister to try to reach a breakthrough in talks on releasing hostages held in Gaza by Hamas, Axios reporter Barak Ravid posted on social media site X on Thursday, citing two sources.
Negotiations continue, but Hamas refuses to concede anything. For the terrorist organization, the hostages remain their last bargaining chip.
The United States signed an agreement Wednesday to build its permanent embassy in Jerusalem, cementing in stone and steel a political decision that Donald Trump first made during his initial term in office.
Iran and the United States concluded a round of indirect talks on Wednesday with no sign they had made headway toward a lasting peace, focusing instead on issues that they had supposedly resolved two weeks ago.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of La France Insoumise and France's most prominent hard-left politician, is now the subject of a criminal complaint for apology of terrorism filed by three French victims of the October 7 Hamas massacre.
