Hamas official Musa Abu Marzouk says that Palestinian delegates in Egypt haven’t been formally notified about the date of renewed ceasefire talks with Israel, but that he expects “that the talks will begin tomorrow with the attendance of the Israeli delegation.”

Hamas spokesperson Sami Abu-Zuhri tells Palestinian media that the Palestinian representatives have yet to receive a response from Israel to the factions’ demands.

“For the time being there’s no news, and as far as we’re concerned the fighting continues,” he says. “We will determine when to intensify and when to scale back, and that will be done in accordance with the will of the Palestinian people.”
