Egypt Seeks 60-Day Ceasefire in Gaza with US and Qatar

Egypt is working, together with the two other mediating countries Qatar and USA, to resume the plan for a 60-day long ceasefire in Gaza.

The main goal is to go back to the basic proposal – to have a ceasefire for 60 days, release some of the captured hostages (from Hamas) and Palestinian prisoners (from Israel) and open up the influx of humanitarian aid and care to Gaza without restrictions or conditions, says Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdeldatty to reporters in the capital Cairo.

A delegation from the terrorist-stamped Hamas is expected in Cairo for renewed talks about a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip in the coming days.

We are talking to Hamas and Israel and are pushing for an agreement, continues Abdeldatty.

In late July, Israel and the US called home their delegations from Qatari Doha after two weeks of indirect talks with Hamas without any breakthrough.
