Negotiations held in Cairo to reach a ceasefire in Gaza were witnessing a ‘significant breakthrough,’ two Egyptian security sources told Reuters yesterday.
The sources said there was a consensus on a long-term ceasefire in the besieged enclave, yet some sticking points remain, including Hamas arms.
Earlier, Egyptian state-affiliated Al Qahera News TV reported Egyptian intelligence chief General Hassan Mahmoud Rashad is set to meet an Israeli delegation headed by strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer in Cairo.
