Media: Gaza settlement talks still ongoing

The Times of Israel informed, citing sources, that, despite the US’ announcement that Hamas had rejected the short-term ceasefire plan offered by Egypt, negotiations are still ongoing, and mediators do not abandon attempts to reach a deal, TASS reports


According to the paper’s source, ‘all options for a deal are still on the table, and the parties are monitoring the US election results to figure out how to react’.

Egypt’s offer provided for a 12 days long ceasefire for Hamas to free four Israeli hostages. After that, the parties were supposed to start talks about a permanent ceasefire. Hamas representatives, however, made it clear they would only agree to a short-term deal if it included long-term guarantees which the plan proposed by Egypt lacked.
