Egypt reportedly cancels truce talks in Cairo
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAccording to the Lebanese paper Al-Mayadeen cited by Israel Radio, Egypt cancels truce talks with the Palestinian delegation scheduled for later today.
According to the report, Israel informed Egypt that it was not interested in pursuing negotiations on a ceasefire in light of the abduction of IDF soldier Hadar Goldin by Hamas gunmen yesterday.
The report on the canceled talks could not be confirmed and it is not yet clear whether the talks will proceed.
Israel’s Channel 1 reports that the Palestinian delegation will indeed arrive in Cairo but without Hamas representatives, as previously agreed, because of Israel’s objections.
