The Israeli military has ordered another evacuation in central Gaza ahead of an offensive in the area, even as Israel and the militant group Hamas appear to inch closer to a ceasefire. Talks to broker the ceasefire and hostage release deal have restarted after a monthslong pause. Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he will meet Wednesday with U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s Mideast envoy, Adam Boehler, at his home in Jerusalem. The deal on the table includes a six week pause in fighting in which Hamas would release 30 hostages in exchange for Israel releasing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.
