Hamas will not return to Cairo for continued talks on a possible hostage deal and pause in fighting, reports the London-based Qatari outlet Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, citing a “Hamas source.”

Hamas is suspending its involvement in the talks “pending the results of the mediators’ efforts,” says the source.
