Security cabinet decides: No truce negotiations with Hamas via Cairo
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe security cabinet decides that it will not negotiate with Hamas, via Egyptian mediators, on yet another truce and will not send a delegation to Cairo today as expected, Channel 2 reports.
The cabinet members met late last night for over five hours and the first reports about the outcome are being published now.
According to an Army Radio report, sources say that this does not mean that in, say, five days or a week, Israel won’t send a delegation, but for now this is the Israeli position arising from Friday’s marathon cabinet meeting.
The Palestinian delegation is expected in Egypt later today.
