Israeli, Egyptian Foreign Ministers Meet in Brussels
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid underscored the need for Hamas to release the Israeli hostages held in Gaza, when he met with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry in Brussels on Sunday. Egypt is holding indirect talks between Israel and Hamas to broker a ceasefire deal that would include the release of the remains of two soldiers killed during the 2014 Gaza war and the release of two Israeli citizens captive there. Also at issue is a mechanism to prevent the Hamas seizure for military purposes of humanitarian aid and funds.
