******* issued a relocation order for southern Gaza’s Khan Younis residents on Sunday, following a deadly air strike on a school in Gaza City

****** has said that any resumption of ceasefire talks about the conflict in Gaza should be based on previous plans rather than holding new rounds of negotiations.

Last week, international mediators from Qatar, Egypt and the US urged ******* and ****** to attend negotiations on a ceasefire and ******** release deal on 15 August.

******* responded on Thursday, saying it would send a team of negotiators to take part in the meeting.

Negotiations faltered last month, after new terms were introduced to the framework presented by US President Joe Biden in May.

In a ****** statement last week, mediators said talks could take place on 15 August in Doha or Cairo.

It called on ******* and ****** “to close all remaining gaps and commence implementation of the deal without further delay”.

It said a “framework agreement” based on “principles” previously

was ready – which proposed a deal that would start with a full ceasefire and the release of a number of hostages.

In a statement, ****** responded to pressure from mediators by calling for a plan to be drawn up based on Mr Biden’s “vision” from May – essentially agreeing to resume negotiations from the point where they stopped rather than on any new initiative.

“The mediators should enforce this on the occupation (*******) instead of pursuing further rounds of negotiations or new proposals that would provide cover for the occupation’s aggression and grant it more time to continue its genocide against our people,” the ****** statement said.

Sources told the BBC that the introduction of new ******** conditions – that displaced Palestinians should be screened as they return to the north of Gaza, as well as the question of control of the Philadelphi corridor that borders Egypt – had been sticking points.

The BBC understands that ****** is open to resuming talks at the point prior to which the new conditions were introduced.

Recent fighting in Gaza and the killings of ******’ political leader Ismail Haniyeh and a senior Hezbollah commander have risked escalating tensions across the region.

Aftermath of ******** strike on Gaza City school

On Sunday, the ******** military ordered thousands of Palestinians in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, to relocate to what it has designated “humanitarian zones”.

The relocation order followed an ******** air strike against a school building in Gaza on Saturday, which ******* more than 70 people according to a local hospital director.

Fadl Naeem, head of al-Ahli Hospital where many of the casualties were taken, said around 70 victims were identified in the hours after the strike – with the ******** of many others so badly disfigured that identification was difficult.

A spokesman for the ******* Defense Forces (IDF) said the school “served as an active ****** and Islamic ****** military facility”, which ****** denies.

IDF spokesman Rear Adm Daniel Hagari said “various intelligence indications” suggest a “high probability” that the commander of Islamic ******’s Central Camps Brigade, Ashraf Juda, was at al-Taba’een school school when it was struck.

He said it is not yet clear whether the commander was ******* in the *******.

The BBC cannot independently verify casualty figures from either side.

The air strike has been criticised by Western and regional powers, with Egypt saying it showed ******* had no ******* to reach a ceasefire or end the Gaza war.

******* claims that ****** is using civilian infrastructure to plan and carry out attacks, and that is why it has been targeting hospitals and schools – sites protected under international law.

****** has consistently denied the accusations.

******-led gunmen ******* about 1,200 people in an ******* on ******* on 7 October, taking 251 others back to Gaza as hostages.

That ******* triggered a massive ******** military offensive against Gaza and the current war.

More than 39,790 Palestinians have been ******* in the ******** campaign, according to Gaza’s ******-run health ministry.
