Palestinian negotiators have warned they will leave Egypt today if their Israeli counterparts do not show up for truce talks, after Israel attacked the impoverished Gaza strip with even more air strikes that killed at least 10 Palestinians.
Negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza are expected to resume in Cairo today with an Israeli delegation scheduled to arrive in the city, where a Palestinian team and Egyptian mediators are waiting.
Palestinian negotiators warned they would leave the Egyptian capital if no Israeli delegation showed up, with one senior Palestinian setting a 1300 GMT deadline. “We have a meeting tomorrow (Sunday) with Egyptian (mediators). If we confirm that the Israeli delegation is placing conditions for its return, we will not accept any conditions,” lead negotiator Azzam al-Ahmed told the media.
