The Qatari newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reports that an Israeli delegation arrived in Cairo on Sunday evening to hold talks with mediators and seek a breakthrough in the negotiations with Hamas for a ceasefire and the release of hostages from Gaza.
According to the report, the delegation met yesterday with senior Egyptian officials.
Last week, Hamas rejected an Israeli ceasefire proposal that was conveyed to them but stated it is willing to discuss a broader deal that includes ending the war.
Mediators Qatar and Egypt have reportedly proposed an outline for a ceasefire of between five and seven years, a formal end to the war, a complete IDF pullout from Gaza, and the release of hostages in exchange for Palestinian security prisoners.
