Limited ceasefire by weekend, Egyptian official says
A limited humanitarian ceasefire may be implemented by the weekend, an Egyptian official tells Reuters.
The move would coincide with the Eid al-Fitr festival, the celebration marking the end of Ramadan.
However, US officials dispute the claim.
“It would not be accurate to say that we expect a ceasefire by the weekend,” an unnamed US official says. “We are continuing to work on it, but it is not set at this point.”
