Hamas says it will not free any more hostages until Israel ends its war in Palestine ahead of ceasefire talks in Cairo
- Hamas says it will only discuss a permanent ceasefire in exchange for hostages
- Leader Ismail Haniyeh arrived in Cairo for talks prompting hope for progress

Ismail Haniyeh flew into Egypt from his home in Qatar – prompting hopes that a new wave of releases could be imminent.
The militant leader typically wades publicly into diplomacy when progress seems likely. But US President Joe Biden warned last night that he did not expect a deal to be struck soon given the great divide between Israel and Hamas.
Israel has insisted all remaining women and infirm men must be released and accepts it may have to release Palestinians convicted of serious offences in return.
