Palestinian negotiator reports agreement ‘on many points’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleDespite claims by a senior Hamas official in Cairo that Israel and the Palestinian factions had not been able to agree on any issue in Egyptian-mediated talks, Palestinian negotiator Azzam al-Ahmed says there is agreement between the two sides “on many points.”
Al-Ahmed, also in Cairo, says agreements have been reached regarding the key Palestinian demand to end the blockade on the Gaza Strip.
He adds that more time is needed to discuss “some” remaining disputes with Israel over a long-term truce.
Earlier, a senior Hamas official in Cairo, Moussa Abu Marzouk, said no progress has been made in the talks.
