'Weak' chance of Gaza truce talks succeeding: Palestinians
(MENAFN- Arab News) CAIRO: A senior Hamas official said Sunday there was a 'weak' possibility that Gaza truce talks would succeed and that Palestinian negotiators could leave Cairo after a meeting with Egyptian mediators.
'The possibility of negotiations to succeed is weak. It is possible that the Palestinian delegation will leave to consult its leaders any minute' Ezzat Al-Rishq who is taking part in the Cairo truce talks said.
Negotiations for a new cease-fire in Gaza had been expected to resume in Cairo on Sunday with an Israeli delegation scheduled to arrive.
But Palestinian negotiators have warned they will leave if their Israeli counterparts do not show up with one of them setting a 1300 GMT deadline.
The Palestinian delegation had been scheduled to hold a meeting with Egyptian mediators at 0800 GMT.
An Israeli official said talks cannot take place until Palestinian rocket fire comes to a halt.
An earlier cease-fire brokered by Cairo ended on Friday 0500 GMT and since then both Hamas and Israel have resumed fighting in the Gaza Strip.
