Egyptian delegation arrives in Gaza in latest bid to negotiate truce with Israel

A delegation of Egyptian mediators working to negotiate a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas is entering the Gaza Strip via the Erez crossing for meetings with top Palestinian officials in Gaza, according to the Ynet news site.

The report says the Egyptian delegation met with Israeli defense officials earlier today, where government laid out its demands for a truce in Gaza. The mediators will pass along the Israeli demands to the Hamas leadership ahead of this weekend, when large-scale protests are expected along the Israel-Gaza border marking the one-year anniversary of the so-called March of Return weekly rallies.
