As tensions escalate in the Middle East, Israel braces for potential conflict ahead of the anticipated ceasefire talks scheduled for mid-August.

Despite Yahya Sinwar's willingness to negotiate a ceasefire, Hamas has announced it will not participate in the discussions organized by the United States, Qatar, and Egypt.

The situation remains volatile, with Iran threatening retaliation against Israel for the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.

Meanwhile, the Vatican has expressed deep concern over the growing conflict, urging dialogue and peace.

The international community watches closely, hoping for a resolution that prevents further escalation in the region.
