A Hamas official said Monday no progress was made at a new round of Gaza ceasefire talks in Cairo also attended by delegations from Israel , Qatar, and the U.S., shortly after Egyptian sources said headway had been made on the agenda.
"There is no change in the position of the occupation and therefore, there is nothing new in the Cairo talks," the Hamas official, who asked not to be named, told Reuters. "There is no progress yet."

The concessions related to the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas, and the Palestinian militant group's demand for the return of displaced residents to northern Gaza, they added, without giving further details.Hamas Not Flexible on Its Demands "Regarding the exchange of prisoners, Hamas was and is willing to be more flexible, but there is no flexibility over our...main demands," he told Reuters.
Under international pressure to ease Gaza's humanitarian crisis and not follow through on plans to storm Rafah, a southern town packed with a million displaced people, Israel said on Sunday it had pulled more soldiers from southern Gaza.
