Negotiations in Cairo for a ceasefire in Gaza are “not leading” to a deal yet, a source told The National on Tuesday. The negotiations resumed on Monday, with mediators from Egypt, the US and Qatar presenting a slightly amended version of a previous proposal for a 70-day truce and the release of 10 hostages. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pledged to bring back all hostages, “living and dead”, and the US denied that Hamas had agreed to the ceasefire proposal on the table.
