What is the current status of Israel-Hamas ceasefire negotiations?

Israel has sent a negotiating team to Cairo and declared readiness to begin meaningful negotiations with Hamas on advancing to the second phase of the ceasefire deal. This phase is particularly contentious as it would involve a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, which faces bitter opposition from the far-right factions in Benjamin Netanyahu's government. While both sides appear willing to negotiate on progressing the ceasefire agreement, success is not guaranteed due to these significant political challenges. The negotiations represent an important step in the peace process, despite the complex obstacles that remain.
