Gaza truce talks in Cairo held back say Palestinians
(MENAFN- Arab News) RAMALLAH Palestine: Israeli-Palestinian talks on a lasting Gaza truce are to resume after mid-November instead of Monday as initially planned the chief Palestinian negotiator Azzam Al-Ahmad told AFP Sunday.
The announcement came after other Palestinian officials said the talks had been postponed due to Egypt's closure of the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip.
Egypt closed Rafah the only crossing into Gaza not controlled by Israel after a bomb attack by a suspected jihadist on its troops in the Sinai Peninsula on Friday killed 30 soldiers. Egypt also imposed a state of emergency on parts of the Sinai which also borders Israel.
'The indirect talks between Israelis and Palestinians have been postponed until the second half of November' Ahmad told AFP from Cairo. There was no immediate confirmation from Israel.
Earlier Hamas official Khalil Al-Haya told his movement's television that Palestinian delegates cannot leave Gaza since Egypt has closed the Rafah crossing.
