CIA Director Williams Burns is expected in the Egyptian capital, Cairo today for a new round of talks aimed at securing a ceasefire in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports, according to the Al Ahram Weekly.

Burns’ visit comes days after he held meetings with Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Israeli and Egyptian security officials in Qatar’s capital, Doha. As those meetings took place, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi announced that Cairo had proposed a limited two-day truce to exchange four Israeli captives held by Hamas for some Palestinian prisoners.

US President Joe Biden’s Middle East advisers, Amos Hochstein and Brett McGurk, are also expected in Israel today for talks on a truce deal between Israel and Lebanon.
