Another photo of demonstrators in Tel Aviv tonight (8/24/24). The person on the left is wearing a t-shirt that reads in Hebrew "Shivah be-October," which is a pun in Hebrew. Shivah be-October = October 7 (2023), the day of the Hamas attack. Shivah also refers to the seven-day period of mourning after a person has died.
A week after what was described as the "last-opportunity" summit in Doha, the U.S. administration is making yet another effort to advance the stalled deal for releasing the hostages and preventing the flare-up of an extensive regional war.
Talks resumed in Cairo on Saturday, this time with the participation of Hamas, but the chances of making progress still seem low. Meanwhile, there is an escalation in the fighting, with more casualties in the Gaza Strip and along the border with Lebanon.
