Getting Kids Ready for Back to School: Tips for a Smooth Transition

As summer winds down, the excitement and anticipation of a new school year begin to build. Preparing your kids for back to school can be a fun and rewarding experience with a bit of planning and organization. Here are some tips to help ensure a smooth transition: 1. Establish a Routine Start adjusting your child’s sleep schedule a week or two before school begins.

Gaza Ceasefire Talks End with No Breakthrough Ahead of Ramadan

 

Ceasefire negotiations between Hamas and mediators concluded in Cairo without any significant progress. With just days remaining before the start of Ramadan, the urgency to halt the fighting in the Gaza Strip remains critical.

During the two-day talks, Hamas presented its proposal for a ceasefire agreement, but the Israeli delegation chose to stay away from this round. Senior Hamas official Bassem Naim expressed frustration, stating, “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu doesn’t want to reach an agreement, and the ball now is in the Americans’ court” to press for a deal.

Israel has not officially commented on the Cairo talks. However, their stance remains firm: they demand that Hamas provide a list of 40 elderly, sick, and female hostages who would be the first to be released as part of an initial six-week truce. Meanwhile, Hamas insists on allowing large-scale humanitarian aid into Gaza and facilitating the return of Palestinians displaced from their homes in the northern part of the coastal strip.

As the Muslim holy month of Ramadan approaches, the situation remains precarious. The informal deadline for a deal looms, and the fate of civilians caught in the conflict hangs in the balance. While the world watches, the hope is that diplomatic efforts will yield results and prevent further suffering.
