Italy resumes UNRWA funding for Palestinians | VOA News

Italy became the latest country to resume funding for the United Nations' Palestinian relief organization UNRWA, Saturday.

Israeli forces pressed on with their military operation against Hamas throughout the Gaza Strip but left the door open for a new round of mediated negotiations next week, an official said Saturday.

The decision for a new round of negotiations was made after the head of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency met with CIA chief William Burns and Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, said the source, who spoke to Reuters and declined to be identified because of the sensitivity of the situation.

"At the end of the meeting, it was decided that in the coming week, negotiations will open based on new proposals led by the mediators, Egypt and Qatar and with active U.S. involvement," the source said.
