The first phase of the ceasefire in Gaza that saw dozens of Israeli hostages and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners freed is nearing its end - with Israel and Hamas split on the way forward.

A senior Hamas official says “no progress” has been made in the latest round of talks on the second phase of the ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian group Hamas.
