Ceasefire talks between Hamas and Israel are expected to resume next week, a Hamas official said Friday, as Israeli strikes continue across Gaza and experts warn Palestinians are on the brink of famine.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his ceasefire negotiators will return to Israel from Qatar for further consultations. U.S. Envoy Steve Witkoff said in a statement that the U.S. was doing the same. They made the decision after Israel received Hamas’s response to mediators’ proposal for a 60-day truce.
