Israel mum on new ceasefire talks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsrael hasn’t responded to a statement by Islamic Jihad official Khaled al-Batsh, who says a truce between Israel and militant Palestinian factions in Gaza will be announced in the coming hours.
Hamas official Izzat al-Rishq, meanwhile, says that there “is no news” with regards to ceasefire talks, adding that “if there is any development, we will notify of it.”
Al-Jazeera quotes Palestinian sources who say that there is still no agreement among the Palestinian factions over a new Egyptian ceasefire proposal.
Islamic Jihad has suffered a heavy blow during recent fighting and is keen on reaching a truce as soon as possible, Israel Radio says.
