Egypt talks about difficulties in the Cairo negotiations, and Israel awaits Hamas’ response. A Hamas leader expected that leaders from the movement would hold more talks in Cairo.
Israel refrains from commenting publicly on the Cairo talks. A source told Reuters earlier that Israel boycotted the talks because Hamas rejected its request to provide a list of names of all detainees still alive. Hamas demands the nomination of 500 prisoners for release, including life sentences and those with high sentences, in exchange for the release of 40 Israeli detainees.
