Israel and Hamas have expressed openness to a renewed ceasefire and the release of hostages, Egyptian security sources told Reuters.
According to sources familiar with the talks, the only disagreement between the parties remains how it will be implemented
Hamas is insisting on releasing the list of hostages unilaterally and demanding that Israeli forces withdraw behind predetermined lines.
Israel has refused to back down, but has agreed to let Hamas put up the list, as long as the group gave a timeline and allowed Israel to see the list in order to decide the time and duration of the ceasefire.
Egypt, along with Qatar and the US, have been involved in mediating negotiations between Israel and Hamas during the conflict.
The previous temporary ceasefire, which saw 110 hostages released in exchange for 240 Palestinian prisoners, was partly overseen by Egypt - with Qatar playing a leading role.
Experts predicted that the accidental killing of the three hostages by Israeli forces would increase pressure on Benjamin Netanyahu to refocus his efforts on returning the hostages held by Hamas.
Indeed, the Israeli prime minister yesterday appeared to hint that new negotiations with Hamas may be underway, referring to the "instructions I am giving the negotiating team" and noting that the deals that returned the 110 hostages were not made public until they were reached./SkyNews
