Negotiators are gathering in the Egyptian capital Cairo for a renewed push to secure an end for fighting in Gaza in exchange for the release of hostages.
A Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo Saturday evening, a Hamas official said, while an Israeli delegation is also expected to head there for the talks.
There are still several sticking points over the potential three-phase agreement first put forward by US President Joe Biden.
Hamas has indicated they are unhappy with the latest proposal as it didn’t include a permanent ceasefire and introduced new conditions on the exchange of prisoners, among other issues.
Meanwhile, Israel has made it clear that following the initial six-week phase, a break in the fighting may be just that and it is not ready to agree to a permanent ceasefire.
