As the death count in Gaza rises and fears of a broader regional conflict grow, Israel and Hamas are set to come to the negotiating table on August 15th to broker a ceasefire and hostage release deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has confirmed that negotiators will attend to finalize and implement the framework agreement. On the other hand, Hamas has resisted engaging in new talks, urging mediators to enforce the framework agreed upon last month based on US President Joe Biden's proposal.
