News - Middle East: Egypt is set to host a fresh round of indirect talks between representatives from the Israeli regime and the Palestinian Hamas resistance movement aimed at reaching a truce in Gaza just days after the adoption of a United Nations Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire.

The foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, and France convened on Saturday in the capital Cairo, where they issued a joint call for an urgent and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.
An Israeli official told the Reuters news agency that Israel would send a delegation to the Cairo talks on Sunday. A Hamas official, however, told Reuters the group would wait to hear from Cairo mediators on the outcome of their talks with Israel first.
Speaking at a joint news conference in Cairo, France’s top diplomat Stephane Sejourne said his government would put forward a draft resolution at the UN Security Council setting out a “political” settlement of the war.
He said the text would include “all the criteria” for a so-called two-state solution of the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Sejourne further warned that the ongoing tragedy in Gaza does not serve the security of the Israeli regime and Jewish illegal settlers.
