Egypt has said that it was working with fellow Gaza mediators Qatar and the United States to broker a 60-day truce, as part of a renewed push to end Israel’s war on Gaza.

Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty made the announcement at a press conference in Cairo, as two Palestinian sources told AFP that a senior Hamas delegation was due to meet Egyptian officials for talks tomorrow.

Abdelatty said that “we are working very hard now in full cooperation with the Qataris and Americans”, aiming for “a ceasefire for 60 days, with the release of some hostages and some Palestinian detainees, and the flow of humanitarian and medical assistance to Gaza without restrictions, without conditions”.
