An Egyptian source tells AFP that a security delegation from Cairo would be in Tel Aviv later today for talks with Israeli officials on a ceasefire.
Israeli officials confirmed Egypt’s involvement in attempts to facilitate understanding between the sides toward halting the hostilities.
Earlier, US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides said, “We stand by Israel’s right to defend itself,” and that Washington was engaged in efforts “towards a quick de-escalation.”
