Negotiations held in Cairo to reach a ceasefire in Gaza are witnessing a “significant breakthrough,” two Egyptian security sources tell Reuters.
The sources say there is a consensus on a long-term ceasefire in the besieged enclave, yet some sticking points remain, including Hamas arms.
A senior Israeli official said earlier today that Israel would not accept a five-year ceasefire deal being pushed for by mediators.
Earlier, Egyptian state-affiliated Al Qahera News TV reported that Egyptian intelligence chief General Hassan Mahmoud Rashad was set to meet an Israeli delegation headed by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer in Cairo.
