CIA Director Bill Burns is expected to travel to Paris on Friday for discussions with Qatari, Egyptian, and Israeli officials aimed at securing a deal for the release of hostages held by Hamas in Gaza before Ramadan. This diplomatic move comes amidst escalating tensions, highlighted by an Israeli bombing in Gaza's Rafah, which flattened a mosque, destroyed homes, and was described as one of their worst nights yet, raising hopes for a truce. The White House and Arab states are intensifying efforts to broker a ceasefire and free the hostages, with President Biden's adviser Brett McGurk urging Israel to participate in the Paris talks. The Israeli cabinet has approved sending negotiators to the discussions, signaling progress in the negotiations mediated by Egyptian and Qatari officials with Hamas, with the Hamas chief also in Cairo. International efforts to broker a ceasefire have gained new momentum, with a senior envoy's visit to Israeli leaders reported as 'going well' and mediators noting encouraging signs from the warring parties. The talks in Paris, involving officials from Israel, the United States, Qatar, and Egypt, are set to begin on Friday, focusing on a potential ceasefire and the release of hostages.
