There has been some progress in hostage talks in Cairo, an Israeli official tells The Times of Israel, but “not everything the Egyptians say is true,” APA reports citing the Times of Israel.
Two Egyptian officials told Reuters last night that there were “significant breakthroughs.”
The major sticking points remain, says the Israeli official, including the duration of a ceasefire and the future of Hamas.
On recent statements by Israeli officials expressing displeasure with Qatari mediation, the official says that “it’s nothing new.”
“Qatar is in the negotiations for its own benefit — so that world leaders will come to Doha — not to pressure Hamas,” says the official. “Egypt does pressure Hamas.”
