Israel and Hamas are back at the negotiating table with truce talks set to resume on Sunday in Cairo, the Times of Israel reports.

According to the same report, Haaretz on Saturday cited an unnamed Israeli source as saying that the talks have stalled because Hamas has refused to show any flexibility in its demand to allow all residents of northern Gaza to return, while posing as a condition for the release of the hostages is Israel’s commitment to end the war and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. Israel rejected both requests.

After all, yesterday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to send Israeli delegations to Egypt and Qatar, where negotiators are trying to secure the release of Israeli hostages as part of a possible cease-fire deal in the Gaza Strip.

The prime minister’s office said Netanyahu had held talks with the heads of Israel’s Shin Bet and Mossad intelligence services and “approved that delegations representing them will go to Doha and Cairo in the coming days” with orders to proceed with the negotiations. .
