Various reports on developments in the Middle East on Sunday:
- Both Israel and Hamas sent teams to Egypt for further talks on a possible ceasefire.
- a possible temporary ceasefire in Gaza that could be reached by Eid al-Fitr, The New Arab reported
- Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said on Sunday that Israel is prepared to deal with any scenario that may arise with Iran.
- Iran has reportedly informed the United States that it will refrain from responding to the airstrike in which top IRGC commanders were killed in Damascus if a Gaza ceasefire is reached (h/t and thanks to Nihat for this one here)
(Eid al-Fitr is known as the “festival of breaking the fast” because it occurs right after Ramadan. Ramadan is a holy month in the Islamic calendar, during which many Muslims do not eat or drink ( no, not even water) ) from sunrise to sunset. The last day of Ramadan is Tuesday April 9, 2024)
The situation is volatile in the region, so be prepared for all of the above and more to change.
