Negotiators are gearing up for crucial talks this weekend aimed at achieving a ceasefire in Gaza as fighting continues in the Palestinian territory. Despite the ongoing conflict, Hamas has announced that while it will send a delegation to the Egyptian capital Cairo, it will not participate in the discussions. The United States, Egypt, and Qatar have been working for months to mediate an end to the ongoing conflict between Hamas militants and Israel. A senior Hamas official told AFP that a delegation from the group would be heading to Cairo. However, the delegation will only meet with Egyptian officials to receive updates on the talks and will not participate in the negotiations. The official stated that Hamas will demand that Israel withdraw its forces entirely from Gaza, including from the Philadelphi Corridor, a border area with Egypt. Netanyahu at odds with Israeli negotiators over Philadelphi Corridor Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly at odds with Israeli negotiators over the ceasefire terms, particularly regarding the Philadelphi Corridor. A source familiar with the discussions told Reuters that Netanyahu is firm in his position that Israel should maintain control over the corridor to prevent the smuggling of weapons and fighters by Hamas. Additionally, the Israeli PM insists on maintaining checkpoints in the Netzarim Corridor to stop armed Hamas fighters from moving between the southern and northern parts of Gaza. Despite pressure from his team for more concessions, Netanyahu has only agreed to slightly adjust one Philadelphi position, moving it a few hundred metres but keeping overall control of the area. Israeli military strikes in Gaza kill 50 Israeli military strikes in Gaza have resulted in the deaths of 50 people on Saturday, according to Palestinian health authorities. Many of the victims from the past 48 hours remain on the roads where fighting persists or are trapped under debris. Hamas' October 7 attack on southern Israel led to the deaths of 1,199 people, most of them civilians, based on Israeli official figures reported by AFP. Israel's retaliatory campaign has killed 40,334 Palestinians in Gaza, according to Gaza's health ministry, with the United Nations reporting that most of the casualties are women and children.

Republican presidential candidate Donald&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;spoke on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday (Aug 14) and discussed the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, Axios reported, citing two US&nbsp;sources.

One source told Axios that Trump's call was intended to encourage Netanyahu to take the deal, but stressed he did not know if this was indeed what the former president told Netanyahu. The&nbsp;Trump&nbsp;campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Late last month, Netanyahu visited the US&nbsp;and met President Joe Biden, Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and Republican former President&nbsp;Trump.

Egypt, the United States and Qatar have scheduled a new round of Gaza ceasefire negotiations for Thursday.

Hamas said on Wednesday it would not take part in a new round of Gaza ceasefire talks slated for Thursday in Qatar, but an official briefed on the talks said mediators expected to consult with the Palestinian Islamist group afterwards.
