Mediators from the US, Egypt and Qatar are scheduled to resume talks on Tuesday in Cairo to try to find a formula to end the fighting in Gaza that’s acceptable to both Israel and Hamas. They said CIA director William Burns would lead the US team in the talks in which the intelligence chiefs of Israel and Egypt would participate. Senior Qatari security officials would also take part, said the sources, who did not want to be identified. Fresh negotiations follow the outright dismissal last week by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of proposals tabled by Hamas in response to a plan hammered out by mediators late last month.
