ISRAEL
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical Market NewsPolitical RiskCommoditiesPolitical Risk BulletEnergy BulletsBulletEmerging Market News

Wires reporting that Hamas have agreed with Qatar to continue talks on a truce in Gaza. Comes after reports that Egypt is set to invite Israel and Hamas to talks in Cairo in an effort to bridge the remaining gaps between the two sides on a hostage-for-temporary ceasefire deal.

  • To continue the trend of mixed signals emerging ahead any talks, WaPo reports comments from senior Hamas officials seeking to push back on media speculation of a 'negative' stance towards the curent hostages-for-temporary ceasefire deal on the table.
  • WaPo: "Hamas officials said Thursday that the militant group was still studying the latest proposal for a hostage release and a cease-fire and asked for patience amid reports it was viewing the offer negatively. “It’s not about negative or positive. There is movement on some points and some need for negotiation,” Hamas official Basem Naim said. Suhail al-Hindi, another member of the political bureau, said there was “nothing new yet, and the agreement requires patience.”
  • Indeed, these comments would appear to line up with our earlier bullet reporting on headlines regarding a more positive Hamas stance (see 1124BST ISRAEL: Sky Arabiya-Egypt Source:Positive Progress On Truce Negotiations).
