Fatah predicts Israel will join Cairo talks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Fatah delegate to the Gaza ceasefire talks in Cairo predicts Israel will join the talks within a few days.
Israel has said it is no longer interested in ceasefire talks and will not be sending delegates to Cairo after as many as six ceasefires were violated by Hamas over the past month of fighting.
Fatah official Azzam al-Ahmad also says the question of the Rafah crossing between Gaza and Egypt does not need Israeli participation, as it’s considered an “internal Egyptian-Palestinian issue.”
A Palestinian delegation from Ramallah arrived in Cairo yesterday for the talks. Hamas representatives from Qatar and American representatives are expected to arrive in Cairo today, Ynet reports.
