03:56 Min

Delegations from Israel, Hamas and the US are set to hold ceasefire talks in Egypt. This comes on the eve of the second anniversary of Hamas' attack, which sparked the war in Gaza. The conflict has claimed the lives of more than 60,000 Palestinians. Ahead of the talks, US President Donald Trump urged both sides to "move fast" to seal the deal. Mr Trump's 20-point plan would include Hamas releasing all hostages. Hamas has said it accepts key parts of Mr Trump's proposal, but its commitment to disarm — a key Israeli demand — is unclear. Blake Sifton reports from Tel Aviv.
