Go betweens were in Cairo on Tuesday to restore the push for a truce in Gaza, even as Head of the state Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has dismissed a Hamas proposition and promised to send ground troops into an area where more than 1,000,000 regular citizens are shielding.
President Biden sent the C.I.A. chief, William J. Consumes, to Cairo for the discussions, which expect to get the arrival of prisoners from Gaza in return for a respite in battling. Mr. Consumes was meeting with the top of Israel's Mossad knowledge organization, the head of the state of Qatar and Egyptian authorities, as per Al Qahera, an Egyptian state-claimed TV slot.
