Al-Qahera news announced a consensus between Hamas and Israel on key \u2064points, though\u200d specifics were not disclosed. Israeli officials, including one from the Associated Press, differ on the\u2064 outcome. Talks in Cairo focus on a phased de-escalation plan, with the\u200c first phase involving \u200da\u200b 40-day ceasefire and hostage exchange.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/hamas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Hamas\">Hamas<\/a> delegation in Egypt has made \u201cnoticeable progress\u201d in ceasefire talks, after months of deadlock, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/egypt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Egyptian\">Egyptian<\/a> media.<\/p>\n<p>The Egyptian state Al-Qahera news <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-hamas-war-news-05-04-2024-4eae8b7a75440d4dd9a201219d60bcd9\" title>announced<\/a> on Saturday that Hamas and Israel had reached a consensus on many of the disputed points, though it didn\u2019t elaborate on what those were. Other sources dispute this, including some Israeli officials. One Israeli official told the <em>Associated Press<\/em> that even a deal to release the roughly 100 hostages still held by Hamas wouldn\u2019t prevent Israel\u2019s invasion of Rafah, nor end the war.<\/p>\n<figure><figcaption>Palestinians stand in the ruins of the Chahine family home, after an overnight Israeli strike that killed at least two adults and five boys and girls under the age of 16 in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, Friday, May 3, 2024.

The first phase would be a 40-day ceasefire, staving off the Rafah operation, in exchange for female hostages. The next phase would see Israel withdraw from a coastal road, allowing Gazans to return to their homes in the north, and for humanitarian aid to flow more freely. In the third week, talks would begin regarding a formal end to the war, while Israeli troops would withdraw from Central Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>The talks aim to bring about a ceasefire based on less contentious issues, holding off the more polarizing questions for a later date. The status of Hamas post-war, who will control the Gaza Strip, and a potential Israeli military occupation are some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/one-family-one-nation\/\" title=\"One Family, One Nation: United\">long-term questions<\/a> that will be discussed in later talks.<\/p>\n<p>One Israeli official, speaking with AFP, said that if a positive development is seen in the talks, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/Israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Israel<\/a> will send a delegation to Cairo for further negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-would-japanese-intervention-to-boost-the-weak-yen-look-like\/\" title=\"How might Japan intervene to strengthen the yen?\">facing renewed pressure<\/a> to accept a deal, both domestically and abroad. U.S. State Secretary Antony Blinken pressured Qatar to evict the group\u2019s leadership from the country if they didn\u2019t accept a hostage deal, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/2024\/05\/03\/us-qatar-hamas-hostages-ceasefire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>according<\/a> to the <em>Washington Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title><strong>CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Israel faces pressure of its own, but also a conundrum.

Some far-right Cabinet members have threatened to resign if a peace deal was reached without a complete victory against Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>The War in Gaza is the bloodiest since Israel\u2019s independence in 1948, with deaths estimated to be in the tens of thousands.
