Hamas negotiators left Cairo to consult the group’s leaders but no progress was made in talks on Sunday, a senior Hamas source told Al Jazeera.
The Israeli delegation failed to respond to any Hamas demands, the source said.
Hamas has called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, for Palestinians to be able to return to their homes in the north of Gaza, and for Israeli troops to completely withdraw. A prisoner-captive exchange and the delivery of food aid are also on the table.
Earlier, Egypt’s Al-Qahera News, citing an unnamed “senior Egyptian official”, reported negotiators left Cairo after making “significant progress” on basic points, with delegations expected to return in two days to agree on terms of a final agreement.
Senior Israeli officials participated in the talks in Cairo on Sunday, Haaretz reported, as well as CIA Director William Burns and Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani.
