Israel has agreed to resume ceasefire negotiations under the mediation of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt.

Israel has agreed to resume ceasefire negotiations on August 15th, thanks to the intense diplomatic efforts of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt. This important decision was made at a time when tensions in the Middle East were dangerously escalating.

The civil defense agency of Gaza, controlled by Hamas, reported that more than 18 civilians were killed in Israeli airstrikes on two schools on Thursday. These attacks further deepened the humanitarian crisis in the region.

Following a brief ceasefire in November, international mediators have been making intensive efforts for a second and more permanent ceasefire in the ongoing and devastating war. The leaders of the United States, Qatar, and Egypt have invited the conflicting parties to resume constructive talks in Doha or Cairo on August 15th.

In a statement from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office, it was announced that an experienced negotiation team would be sent to the designated location on August 15th to finalize the details of the agreement's implementation. This step has raised hopes for peace.

A possible ceasefire plan to be discussed in the negotiations includes the gradual release of hostages held in Gaza and a significant increase in humanitarian aid to the region. The recent talks are focused on the comprehensive framework proposed by US President Joe Biden at the end of May.

In the recent developments in Gaza, it was reported that at least 18 civilians were killed in attacks by the Israeli Air Force on the Al-Zahra and Abdel Fattah Hamoud schools. This tragic incident has brought concerns about the protection of civilians back to the agenda.
