Gaza ceasefire talks have made no progress on second phase, Hamas says

Negotiations on next part of truce have begun in Egypt, but militant group has accused Israel of procrastination

The latest round of talks on the second phase of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has yet to make any progress and it was unclear whether they would resume on Saturday, a senior Hamas official has said.

The ceasefire took effect on 19 January after more than 15 months of war following Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack on Israel, the deadliest in the country's history.
