Ceasefire in Iran gives rise to new calls for a deal to end Gaza war
Briefly

Amidst ongoing conflict in Gaza, Arab mediators are seeking to leverage U.S. military actions against Iran to facilitate a ceasefire and peace talks. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu faces pressure to either escalate or end the war following 20 months of conflict sparked by Hamas attacks. Discussions have resumed in Cairo, but Israel's response to Egypt's invitation for talks remains uncertain. The region's humanitarian crisis continues to worsen, prompting international calls for urgent action to address the violence and its broader implications.
"We must not forget in this regard that everything that is happening in the region is an expansion of the conflict taking place in Gaza," Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said.
Arab mediators and Israeli hostage families are making a renewed push this week for a deal to end the war in the Gaza Strip.
