A high-ranking Egyptian source accuses Israeli parties of spreading rumors about security arrangements with Cairo regarding Gaza

A high-ranking Egyptian source confirmed that there are Israeli parties working by spreading rumors about new security arrangements with Egypt in an attempt to hide their failures in the Gaza Strip.

The source said that Egypt has made great efforts during the recent period to achieve progress in the ceasefire negotiations in the Gaza Strip.

He pointed out that there are still outstanding points that go beyond what was previously agreed upon with the mediators, and that hinder progress in the negotiations.

Hamas accused the Israeli government of procrastination in order to thwart the negotiations.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Hamas of making demands in the Gaza ceasefire talks that contradict the framework of the proposal brokered by Washington, while the Israeli negotiating team and Washington are projecting optimism , stressing that the agreement is "not guaranteed."
