Palestinians may seek Turkish, Qatar mediation
Palestinian sources involved in the Cairo negotiations told Israel Radio late Sunday it seems unlikely that the sides will agree to a permanent ceasefire at this time, and indicated that the Palestinians may ask for Turkey and Qatar to act as mediators with Israel.
A Palestinian source added that it seems Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing intense pressure by his government to end the talks and topple Hamas militarily.
