Talks over a hostage deal and a cease-fire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas was scheduled to resume in Cairo on Sunday, according to Egypt's state-owned Al Qahera TV. 

CIA Director Bill Burns and Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani would reportedly mediate the latest round of talks.

Hamas said on Saturday that they would send a delegation to Cairo for the latest discussions. 

The group that launched the terror attack on Israel on October 7 that sparked the war in Gaza wants a permanent cease-fire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and a "serious" exchange deal of Palestinian prisoners for Israeli hostages being held in Gaza.

It has said it will agree to release 40 as part of an initial six-week cease-fire deal that would include the release of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli jails.

Israel has offered to allow 2,000 displaced Palestinians — mainly women, children and older people — to the north daily during a six-week cease-fire.

Hamas is classified as a terrorist organization by Germany, the United States, and Israel.
