Palestinians say no progress in talks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe head of the Palestinian delegation to Cairo, Azzam al-Ahmad, says no progress has been made during the ceasefire talks, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa.
He says Israel is “stubbornly” insisting that all of its demands be met.
“We hope to take advantage of every moment in order to reach an agreement to end the cycle of violence,” he says.
He confirms that the truce between Israel and Hamas has been extended for an additional 24 hours, until midnight.
Ahmad says a deal had almost been reached, but adds that the Israeli delegation requested additional time to discuss the agreement with their government.
