As violence resumes in Gaza, the Israelis have withdrawn their delegates from the Cairo ceasefire talks saying they won't negotiate "under fire."

Ramzy Baroud, managing editor of Middle East Eye, discusses the ceasefire talks between Palestinian and Israeli delegates in Cairo, the political influence of Egypt and how the circumstances have changed for Hamas.
