Egyptian president El-Sisi: Truce talks only chance to end Gaza crisis

“The Egyptian initiative is the only real chance to find a real solution to the Gaza crisis,” said Abdel Fattah al-Sisi at a joint press conference in Cairo Saturday with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi.  "Lost time …complicates the situation more and more,” he warned. Israel will not be sending envoys to Cairo Sunday, it was unofficially reported in Jerusalem, because “Hamas is not interested in an accommodation.” A PLO delegation led by Azzam Al-Ahmed will fly to Cairo, joined by Hamas and Islamic Jihad envoys, but not by Hamas officials from Gaza.
