Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is heading to Cairo for Gaza ceasefire talks, Reuters has reported.
The news agency added, citing sources briefed on the meetings, that a deal is expected to be signed in the coming days.
However, this wouldn’t be the first time there have been positive noises about a potential ceasefire, only for talks to break down.
Meanwhile, Hamas said that a ceasefire deal is possible but only if Israel didn’t set new conditions.
This comes after the death toll in Gaza, according to Palestinian officials, passed 45,000 people this week.
Israeli media outlet Haaretz reported that a spokesperson for the prime minister denied the claims he was headed to Egypt.
