Palestinian and Israeli negotiators on Friday voiced readiness to return to Cairo to resume indirect talks aimed at reaching a long-term ceasefire if they are invited to do so by Egyptian mediators.
"The Palestinian delegation doesn't mind returning to Cairo to resume indirect talks with the aim of realizing the demands of the Palestinian resistance – if an invitation is officially extended by Egyptian mediators," Khaled al-Batsh, a member of the Palestinian negotiating team, told Anadolu Agency.
Al-Batsh, a member of the Islamic Jihad group, said members of the Palestinian delegation had agreed to return to Cairo if Egypt invited them for another round of talks.
