Responding to reports that Egypt has brokered a ceasefire between Israel and the Islamic Jihad in Gaza, an Israeli official says they are waiting to see results on the ground.
The senior official tells Hebrew media that “a ceasefire will be judged only by actions on the ground, not by words.”
Israel has not officially confirmed truce talks.
