Report: Egypt to pressure Hamas, Islamic Jihad to accept humanitarian pause
Egyptian officials say they will put pressure on Hamas to accept proposals for a humanitarian pause in fighting in Gaza, the Palestinian Quds news outlet reports.
Hamas, whose leader Ismail Haniyeh is in Cairo for talks related to a possible deal to free hostages, has demanded a full ceasefire, but Israel says it will not end the fighting until Hamas is completely crushed.
The news site reports that Islamic Jihad will also be pressured to accept the truce, with leader Ziad al-Nakhala expected to visit Egypt within days.
