The sounds of approaching war echo among the displaced. Hundreds of thousands of palestinians living in the sand against the egyptian border. Or next to the sea. I dont know where to stay, ahmed says. People are fleeing from rafah and i have my children with me. Gazans have been on the move since yesterday morning, heeding israels latest warnings, not knowing if the coming days will bring relief or despair. Translation after what weve witnessed, theyve said multiple times that there will be a ceasefire. But were frustrated and we have no hope. Theres no big hope. Only a small one. For aid agencies already struggling to cope, the prospect of a full scale israeli Operation In Rafah is alarming. As the operation will progress, we will lose progressively more areas to the fighting. And im afraid that this will also affect our warehouses, health facilities, hospitals. And there are very, very few sites where we have the ability to give medical support. For the families of israeli hostages, these are also moments of acute anxiety. John and rachels son, hirsch, was abducted and badly injured on 7 october. No sign of life until this hamas video two weeks ago. His parents nowjust daring to hope. When we heard the news that maybe theres a deal, we were cautiously optimistic and we remain cautiously optimistic. Its scary to have military actions going on. Theyre innocent civilians, including our son. We just, we just need this to come to an end and we need the mediators on all sides and the two main Partiesl Tojust Sit in the room and hammer this outi and dont come out of. The room without a deal. Away from the quiet dignity of the hostage families, friends and supporters are determined to make as much noise as possible, demanding the government do more to Rescue Hirsch and all the others. These israelis protesting in the Heart Ofjerusalem tonight feel that a deal to end this terrible war has never been closer. And so, as they protest close to the prime ministers official residence, their demands are becoming more and more urgent. Israels Defence Minister says the rafah operation wont stop until hamas is eliminated, or the hostages start to return. Talks are continuing, a successful outcome still far from guaranteed. Negotiations for a ceasefire are expected to continue in cairo. Frank gardner has the latest. Israeli cairo. Frank gardner has the latest. ,. , cairo. Frank gardner has the latest. ,. , cairo.

Israel has sent a midlevel delegation and the mid level delegation and the fact it is mid level is important. They are not sending their top negotiators yet. They want to see how much Common Ground there is between the israeli position on a Ceasefire Deal and a hamas position. If you remember her mother said we can accept the new egyptian form of the Ceasefire Deal. Israel says it falls well short of their needs. What is the Sticking Point . It is ultimately how this war ends. What form does the ceasefire take . How must want a full and final ceasefire. They do not want to give up their key bargaining chips, the hostages, the remaining 90 plus hostages alive plus 3a or 35 thought to be dead. They do not want to give those up only to suffer a Military Assault the next day. Israels viewpoint is we went into this conflict with two aims, eliminate hamas militarily and bring the hostages home but domestic pressure here on benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister, is amounting to do a deal regardless. The hardline right wingers are saying do a deal with hamas and that is its capitulation to their demands. They do not want that and are trying to obstruct that. This is really government believe the best way to get a deal out of us is to keep Military Pressure on it. That is not a view shared by everybody here in israel or in the region. We wait to hear how these talks are going to go in cairo and whether there is enough Common Ground for the two sides to reach this deal, this Ceasefire Deal that the people of gaza so desperately need. While those talks are continuing, the closure to Southern Gaza has alarmed the humanitarian community. I have been speaking to Rachel Cummings who is in gaza now.
