There was no agreement on Sunday in the hostage-ceasefire talks that took place in Cairo, with neither Hamas nor Israel agreeing to several compromises presented by mediators, two Egyptian security sources told Reuters, casting doubt on the chances of success in the latest US-backed effort to end the 10-month old war in the Gaza Strip, Paralel.Az reports citing The Times of Israel.

Hamas meanwhile launched a long-range rocket from southern Gaza’s Khan Younis at central Israel, setting off sirens in an open area of Rishon Lezion where it impacted, according to the Israel Defense Forces.

There were no reports of injuries in the attack, which Hamas said targeted Tel Aviv.

Months of on-off talks have failed to produce an agreement to end the fighting triggered by Hamas’s devastating October 7 attack on southern Israel and free the more than 100 remaining hostages held by the Palestinian terror group.

Speaking at a news conference in Halifax, Canada, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Washington was still “feverishly” working in Cairo with Egyptian and Qatari mediators as well as the Israelis to get a ceasefire and a hostage deal.
