High-level Gaza ceasefire talks end without agreement

The end of the talks came as Israel and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah traded heavy fire early on Sunday

A round of high-level talks in Cairo meant to bring about a ceasefire and hostage deal to at least temporarily end the 10-month Israel-Hamas war in Gaza ended on Sunday without a final agreement, a US official said.

Talks will continue at lower levels in the coming days to bridge the remaining gaps.
