Israel marks 2 years of Oct 7 attack amid Gaza talks
Israel marks two years since the deadly October 7 attack as indirect US-backed talks with Hamas begin in Sharm El-Sheikh, aiming for a ceasefire and hostage release. Memorials honour 1,219 Israeli victims, while Gaza suffers massive casualties and destruction. Both sides face intense international pressure, with hopes that diplomacy can finally halt the ongoing two-year war.
