Egyptian sources: Gaza truce talks underway, tonight may be decisive in setting next steps
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAfter Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesperson and an Arab diplomat denied a Reuters report that the premier was on his way to Cairo for talks on a ceasefire and hostage deal in Gaza, the news agency quotes two Egyptian security sources as saying that while Netanyahu isn’t in Cairo “at this moment,” a meeting is underway to work through the remaining points in the negotiations with Hamas.
The main remaining point is Hamas’s demand for guarantees that any immediate deal would lead to a comprehensive agreement later.
The Egyptian sources say they are making progress, and feel that tonight could be decisive in setting the next steps.
