President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi says Egypt has proposed a two-day ceasefire in Gaza to exchange four Israeli hostages for some Palestinian prisoners.

Speaking at a press conference in Cairo alongside Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Sissi’s comments come the day that Israeli, US, Egyptian and Qatari officials are slated to meet in Doha to restart dormant truce talks.
