Kerry will not travel to Egypt for talks
Arabic media reports that Egypt is attempting to get the sides to agree to a two-day extension of the ceasefire, pushing the truce to five days.
The sides have held their fire for nearly 24 hours.
As Palestinians and Israeli teams meet with Egyptian officials about a long-term ceasefire in Gaza, Channel 2 reports that US Secretary of State John Kerry will not travel to Cairo to participate in the talks.
However, Washington is expected to be represented at the talks.
