Palestinian negotiators warn they will leave Cairo on Sunday if their Israeli counterparts do not show up for truce talks.
Negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza are expected to resume in Cairo on Sunday with an Israeli delegation scheduled to arrive in the city, where a Palestinian team and Egyptian mediators are waiting.
But an Israeli official tells AFP that talks could not take place until Palestinian rocket fire came to a halt.
The Palestinian delegation warns they would leave the Egyptian capital if no delegation showed up, with one senior Palestinian setting a 1300 GMT deadline.
“We have a meeting tomorrow (Sunday) with Egyptian (mediators). If we confirm that the Israeli delegation is placing conditions for its return, we will not accept any conditions,” lead negotiator Azzam al-Ahmed tells AFP.
Another senior Palestinian negotiator says they had given the Israeli delegation until 1300 GMT on Sunday.
