Talks aimed at agreeing Gaza truce with Hamas come as calls grow for Israel to call off planned assault on Rafah
A Hamas source has told news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP) that a delegation is heading to Cairo to meet Egyptian and Qatari mediators, after Israeli negotiators held talks with the mediators on Tuesday.
Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, an outspoken critic of Israel’s conduct of the Gaza war, was also due in Cairo on Wednesday for talks with president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, says AFP.
