HAMAS has rejected a week-long ceasefire offer that Israel hoped would secure the release of the last women and children held captive.<\/p>\n
The initial agreement is off the table despite Israel's recent battlefield gains that are bringing them ever-closer to terror boss Yahya Sinwar.<\/p>\n
\n \n<\/p>\n
Last night, the head of Hamas's political wing, Ismail Haniyeh, attended secret "intensive" talks in Cairo to discuss a ceasefire agreement and more humanitarian aid.<\/p>\n
Israel offered to halt all ground and air assaults in return for 40 hostages that included the last of the women and children as well as elderly male hostages who needed medical treatment.<\/p>\n
Egyptian officials said the deal broke down when Haniyeh refused to release any captives until a permanent ceasefire was established, The Wall Street Journal reports.<\/p>\n
However, this morning the US said "serious negotiations" were still taking place but the prospects remain uncertain.<\/p>\n
