Palestinians say Israel rejects most truce demands

Bassam Salhi, a Palestinian negotiator, says his team met with Egyptian mediators late Saturday.

He says Sunday: “We told the Egyptians that if the Israelis are not coming and if there is no significant development, we are leaving today.”

According to Ynet, a Palestinian representative says Israel is only willing to ease the blockade, rather than remove it.

Israel “rejects most of the Palestinian demands,” Qais Abdul Karim says.
