Hamas confirms truce extension but says no progress made in talks
Hamas negotiator Izzat al-Rishq confirms to Al-Jazeera that the ceasefire has been extended by 24 hours under Egyptian pressure, but says that no progress has been made in talks with Israel.
He says that the principles presented by Al-Jazeera as the basis of an agreement include “misinformation and confusion.”
