First phase of Gaza ceasefire deal ends amid inconclusive talks

The first phase of the Israel-Hamas truce is drawing to a close on Saturday, but negotiations on the next stage, which should secure a permanent ceasefire, have so far been inconclusive. Talks between the two parties are “basically over”, FRANCE 24’s Noga Tarnopolsky said, adding that “there are two crucial terms that Israel has not adhered to”.
