Israel to return to Cairo for ceasefire talks

Israel has reportedly agreed to return to Egypt for more talks over an open-ended ceasefire, according to media reports.

Al-Arabiya said a delegation will travel to Cairo to thrash out a deal to bring an end to Israel's deadly assault on Gaza, which has killed more than 2,100 Palestinians since 8 July.

There has been no announcement from the Hamas side about returning to the Egyptian capital, although yesterday their exiled leader Khaled Meshaal ruled out a return to talks saying "resistance" is the only way to achieve their goals.
