Negotiations on a ceasefire and hostage release agreement between Israel and Hamas resumed in Cairo on Sunday, Egyptian state media Al-Qahera News reported, citing a security source.
“An Egyptian security source confirmed that there is a resumption of negotiations on the truce between Israel and Hamas in Cairo today,” Al-Qahera News reported yesterday.
“The Egyptian source highlighted that joint Egyptian-Qatari efforts are being made to achieve progress in the upcoming negotiations between Israel and Hamas,” he added.
A CNN previously reported that negotiations on the release of hostages and a humanitarian pause were held in Doha, the capital of Qatar.
Last Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorized an Israeli negotiating delegation to travel to Qatar and Egypt.
The director of the American intelligence agency (CIA), Bill Burns, was also in Doha late last week to meet with Israeli, Egyptian and Qatari counterparts.
Burns presented a proposal that was accepted by Israel and returned to Hamas, according to a source and an Israeli official.
Last Tuesday morning, Israel was informed that the proposal had been rejected by Hamas.
