Hamas delegation joins truce talks in Egypt

A Hamas delegation will travel to Egypt on Saturday to discuss a possible ceasefire.  According to local reports, the group will arrive in Egypt on Saturday after confirmation on Monday that a new proposal for a truce was on the table. The first ceasefire ended in December, and negotiators from Qatar, Egypt, and the United States hope to reach a deal for prisoner exchange and a second ceasefire. A new UN report claimed if the Israel-Hamas war were to stop on Saturday, it would take until 2040 to rebuild all the homes which have been destroyed by the Israeli bombardment in Gaza. There was also a warning the damage to the economy would set back development for ages and would only get worse every month the fighting continued.
