Each party sticks to its positions.
Hamas representatives and Egyptian and Qatari mediators continued their discussions this Sunday without visible progress in Cairo where Palestinian delegates continue to demand that any agreement lead to an end to Israeli intervention in the Gaza Strip, which refuses Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to a Palestinian official close to the talks, the Islamist movement’s delegation is willing to reach an agreement, “but not at any price.” “Any agreement must end the war and lead to the departure of Israeli forces, but Israel has not yet committed to this”said this official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
