On the 323rd day of the Gaza genocide, Israel has pounded the blockaded territory with air and artillery strikes, killing dozens of Palestinians, while there are efforts underway for truce talks between Hamas and the Israeli regime. This has put the death toll since October 7 at 40,334 Palestinians with over 92,350 others injured.
Avoiding attending new talks, Hamas says it is committed to the July 2nd agreement, which was based on a US proposal.
In this edition of the Spotlight, Press TV looks deeper into the latest developments and hopes for the talks in an interview with Isabella Zaidan, an academic and political analyst out of Damascus, and Peter Ford, former British ambassador to Syria from Manchester.
