Hamas delegation leaves Cairo, says effort to bring ceasefire will continue

A Hamas delegation has left Cairo after days of talks with mediators to find a ceasefire agreement with Israel. 

The group said in a statement that efforts to reach a deal will continue. 

The statement came shortly after several reports said negotiations hit a deadlock with Israel refusing to agree to a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of troops from Gaza and the unconditional return of displaced families to their homes.  

However, some media reports said another Hamas delegation will be in Egypt Sunday for another round of talks.
