Washington engages with the Palestinian group as the regional war strains post-war plans and the battered October \u2018ceasefire\u2019 that Israel continues to violate.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>In a devastated enclave where more than two million Palestinians remain crammed into a shrinking strip of land under the overwhelming shadow of Israeli military occupation and bombardment, daily survival is tethered to a fragile October \u201cceasefire\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But as\u00a0Israeli and US bombs rain down on Iran<\/a>, and Tehran retaliates across the region, that battered truce faces a breaking point, prompting an unprecedented diplomatic manoeuvre: direct talks between United States President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cBoard of Peace<\/a>\u201d and Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Envoys from the new body, personally headed by Trump to oversee post-war Gaza, but with more far-reaching designs, met with Hamas representatives in the Egyptian capital over the weekend, according to the Reuters<\/a> news agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meetings aimed to safeguard the \u201cceasefire\u201d, which has been under even more severe strain since the regional war began<\/a> on February 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the talks, Israel announced it would partially reopen the Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt on Wednesday. The crossing, Gaza\u2019s sole pedestrian lifeline<\/a> outside direct Israeli control, was shut when the Iran offensive began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the diplomatic push, violence in the enclave persists. Israeli strikes on Sunday\u00a0killed<\/a>\u00a0at least 13 Palestinians, including two boys, a pregnant woman, and nine police officers, serving as a stark reminder of Israel\u2019s all-encompassing military grip on the territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
