The United States, Qatar, and Egypt have jointly called for Israel and Hamas to resume stalled ceasefire talks on August 15, aiming to resolve the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The leaders of these countries emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that they would not accept any excuses for further delays. The talks, which are to be held in either Doha or Cairo, are intended to address remaining issues, including the release of hostages and prisoners. The push for negotiations follows the death of Hamas's chief negotiator, Ismail Haniyeh, in an attack that Iran has attributed to Israel.
