The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author claims that Israel withdrew its negotiating team on Monday after Hamas refused to accept a collection of compromises drawn up by Egypt, Qatar and the U.S., but does not provide any evidence or quotes from either side to support this claim. This is an example of selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position without providing context on why Hamas rejected these compromises. Secondly, the article states that Egypt, France and Jordan urge against Rafah ground operation but does not provide any evidence or quotes from these countries to support this claim. This is an example of deceptive reporting as it implies that all three countries are in agreement when there may be dissenting opinions within each country. Thirdly, the article states that Israel has insisted that a ground invasion of the southern city of Rafah is necessary to fully defeat Hamas but does not provide any evidence or quotes from Israel to support this claim. This is an example of deceptive reporting as it implies that all Israeli officials agree on this position when there may be dissenting opinions within Israel.

Fallacies
(70%)
The article contains several fallacies. The first is an appeal to authority when it states that Egypt, Qatar and the US are mediating the discussions. This implies that these countries have some sort of expertise or knowledge in resolving conflicts between Israel and Hamas which may not be true. Additionally, there is a dichotomous depiction of Hamas' demands for all northern Gazans to return and for Israeli hostages to be dependent on IDF forces fully withdrawing from Gaza when it states that Egypt, France and Jordan urge against Rafah ground operation. This creates the impression that these countries are in agreement with Israel while also suggesting that they disagree with Hamas which is not entirely accurate.

Bias
(75%)
The article contains several examples of bias. Firstly, the author uses language that dehumanizes Hamas by referring to them as 'terrorists' and their actions as a 'war'. This is an example of religious bias. Secondly, the author quotes Israel's negotiating team saying that they previously claimed ceasefire discussions have failed due to Hamas failing to show flexibility. However, this statement is not supported by any evidence provided in the article and therefore cannot be considered factual. Thirdly, the author uses language that demonizes Hamas for refusing to accept a collection of compromises drawn up by Egypt, Qatar and the US. This is an example of political bias as it implies that these countries are neutral parties in this conflict when they have their own interests at play. Finally, the article contains examples of monetary bias as it mentions aid shipments being organized by charity World Central Kitchen and funded through donations from various sources.

Deception
(30%)
The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author uses sensationalism by stating that 'more than 32,000 Palestinians have been killed over the course of the war between Israel and Hamas', which is a highly inflammatory statement without providing any context or evidence to support it. Secondly, there are several instances where quotes from sources are used to manipulate public opinion by presenting them in an emotionally charged manner. For example, 'Hamas said last Monday that it had rejected an Israeli counterproposal' and 'Ghazi Hamad, a senior Hamas official, said Israel was refusing to allow Gazans to go back to the north en masse'. These quotes are presented as if they represent the truth without any context or evidence. Thirdly, there is selective reporting where only details that support the author's position are reported. For example, 'Hamas said last Monday that it had rejected an Israeli counterproposal', but no mention of Israel's own demands or concerns in negotiations are mentioned.

The article contains examples of religious bias and monetary bias. The author uses language that depicts one side as extreme or unreasonable by referring to the Israeli delegation's arrival in Cairo for cease-fire negotiations as a 'nationalist fervor'. This is an example of religious bias, as it implies that Israelis are more nationalistic than Egyptians. Additionally, the article mentions that Hamas said last Monday that they had rejected an Israeli counterproposal without providing any context or details about what was proposed. This is a clear example of monetary bias, as it suggests that money plays a significant role in these negotiations and implies that Israel has more resources to offer than Hamas does.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article mentions both Israel-Hamas war and Gaza hunger crisis which are two separate issues but they are presented as if they were related when there is no evidence to suggest that. Secondly, the author claims that Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital is 'the only remaining functional medical facility in central city of Deir al-Balah' which contradicts reports from other sources such as World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations (UN). Thirdly, the article uses sensationalist language like 'devastation', 'panic', and 'smoldering tents to aid the injured' without providing any context or evidence. Lastly, there is no clear distinction between quotes from sources and author opinions which makes it difficult for readers to differentiate between them.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that negotiations are set to resume in Cairo on Sunday but does not mention who the negotiators are or what they will be discussing. This creates a false sense of impartiality and objectivity when there may be biases at play. Secondly, the article quotes Hamas officials stating their demands for an end to the war and full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza without providing any context on why these demands are unreasonable or impossible for Israel to meet. This creates a false sense of equivalence between both sides when there may be significant differences in power dynamics and resources available. Thirdly, the article quotes Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry stating that Gaza can endure no more destruction and humanitarian suffering without providing any evidence to support this claim or acknowledging the role Israel has played in causing these issues. This creates a false sense of victimization for Palestinians while ignoring Israeli actions and responsibilities.

The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the UN Security Council's demand for a ceasefire and stating that mediators like the United States say they remain optimistic that a deal can be reached. However, this does not necessarily mean that these sources are reliable or unbiased. Additionally, there is no evidence presented in the article to support any of these claims.

Bias

The article is biased towards the Palestinian perspective. The author uses language that dehumanizes Israelis and portrays them as obstacles to peace. For example, when reporting on protests in Tel Aviv against Netanyahu's government, the author says 'Many Israelis feel that Netanyahu is the main obstacle to signing a deal with Hamas'. This statement implies that all Israeli citizens share this view and ignores other perspectives. Additionally, the article uses language such as 'Israel still launching aerial and ground attacks across the strip' which dehumanizes Israelis by portraying them as aggressors rather than defenders of their own country. The author also quotes Hamas officials who are not neutral in this conflict, further biasing the article towards the Palestinian perspective.
