Sources say no ceasefire yet, but talks progressing
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThere is no ceasefire agreement yet, Egyptian, Israeli and Palestinian sources are telling The Times of Israel. But the sources agree that significant progress has been made in the ceasefire negotiations.
The Israeli security cabinet and the Hamas leadership will each hold a meeting on the progress of the talks tonight.
The current proposal is based on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’s suggestion that a ceasefire be declared first, and then discussions will begin on the opening of the Rafah passage with Egypt, which would be manned by Palestinian Authority forces.
