‘We have not pulled out of talks,’ says PA official
“We are leaving tomorrow, but we have not pulled out of negotiations,” Azzam al-Ahmad tells AFP, adding the Palestinians were waiting for Israel to respond to their truce proposal.
“We will not come back (to Cairo) until Israel responds,” he says.
Ahmad, an aide of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas, heads the delegation that includes senior Hamas officials.
One of the Hamas officials, Ezzat al-Rishq, warns that Israel “will not enjoy security so long as the Palestinian people do not.”
