Hamas delegation leaves Cairo, Egyptian sources say

The Qatari al-Araby al-Jadeed newspaper has quoted Egyptian sources as saying that the Hamas delegation has left Cairo without reaching any agreement on the Gaza ceasefire, but has agreed to continue the talks.

It also said that Hamas has agreed to release nine living captives, with the US putting pressure on the organisation to increase this number.

Earlier, a Hamas delegation had arrived in Cairo to engage in talks with Egyptian and Qatari mediators related to resuming negotiations on the Gaza ceasefire, which was broken by Israel last month.
