Cease-fire talks resume in Cairo
Cease-fire negotiations are expected to resume in Cairo on Thursday and Friday, without much hope for a breakthrough due to tensions over control of the Philadelphi corridor, which separates Gaza and Egypt, according to an Egyptian government source.
Negotiations are in preparation for a second summit currently planned for Sunday in Cairo, "if Hamas comes to the table," according to an Israeli official.
Hamas said Thursday it agreed to a deal and that Israel changed the parameters of that deal, according to in interview on Al Jazeera.
"The U.S. Secretary of State's statements aim to market illusions, while [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu deliberately obstructs efforts to reach an agreement to end the war, by setting conditions that contradict what was previously agreed upon," Hamas Political Bureau member Hossam Badran said in the interview.
