As the war drags on and casualties mount, there has been growing international pressure for Hamas and Israel to reach an agreement on a cease-fire.

Egypt sent a high-level delegation to Israel on Friday with the hope of brokering a cease-fire agreement with Hamas in Gaza , two officials said. At the same time, it warned that a possible Israel i offensive focused on Gaza 's city of Rafah — on the border with Egypt — could have catastrophic consequences for regional stability.
The hope is that negotiations will then continue, with the goal of a larger deal to end the war, he said. Ahead of the talks, senior Hamas official Basem Naim told The Associated Press "there is nothing new from our side," when asked about the negotiations. Tens of thousands of people have been displaced on both sides of the border. On the Israeli side, the cross-border fighting has killed 10 civilians and 12 soldiers, while in Lebanon, more than 350 people have been killed, including 50 civilians and 271 Hezbollah members.
Rafah also abuts the Gaza-Egypt border. While in Israel, Kamel, who heads Egypt's General Intelligence Service, plans to make clear that Egypt "will not tolerate" Israel's deployments of troops along that border, the Egyptian official said.
