Parties still working on truce extension

While Hamas and Israel have not reached an agreement on a long-term ceasefire deal, Egyptian officials are in talks with both sides in a last ditch attempt to broker an extension of the current 72-hour truce.

Earlier, an Israeli official told AFP that Jerusalem was willing to extend the truce for an additional 72 hours.
