hannah miller, bbc news. let's turn now to the middle east. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and the hamas leader, ismail haniyeh, have blamed each other for the failure so far to achieve a breakthrough in talks in cairo on a ceasefire in gaza and the release of israeli hostages. mr netanyahu has, once again, said that accepting hamas demands, including an end to the war in gaza, would be surrender. for his part, mr haniyeh has said that hamas is keen on reaching a comprehensive ceasefire, which would, in his words, end israeli aggression. one of the main sticking points appears to be whether the deal would be temporary or permanent, with hamas saying it would not accept any deal that did not explicitly include an end to the war in gaza. but in an interview with the bbc, an israeli minister said that even if all the hostages were released, they would not end the war in gaza and the operation on rafah would still go ahead. a reminder — rafah is a city in southern gaza, where more than a million palestinians are sheltering, after
