Israel, Palestinians said to sign ceasefire outline
The Palestinian Ma’an News Agency reports, quoting Palestinian officials, that the Israeli and Palestinian teams have signed an outline ceasefire agreement that details the issues that both sides have agreed to, and those that will be discussed in a second round of negotiations at a later date.
The Israeli team has since returned to Jerusalem for consultations, which are set to take place at 9 p.m. In the meeting, the Israelis will either approve or reject the proposal, it reports.
At 11 p.m., an Egyptian official is due to announce the ceasefire has been extended.
