Egyptian sources say Israel, Hamas open to ceasefire, disagreements remain

Two Egyptian security sources said on Sunday that Israel and Hamas are both open to a renewed ceasefire and hostage release, although disagreements remain on how it would be implemented.

Egypt and Qatar, which had previously negotiated a week-long ceasefire and hostage release, insisted on expediting aid and the opening of the Kerem Abu Salem crossing before any negotiations could begin, the sources said.

While the crossing was open, they said that aid was being delayed by inspections and had still not entered Egypt.
