The Palestinian leadership has submitted a new proposal in the framework of the Egyptian truce initiative, to ceasefire followed by a five-day negotiation, Palestinian official Azzam al-Ahmed told reporters in Cairo on Tuesday.
He said that Egypt has approved that proposal.
"Hamas maintains its unilateral position so far, yet we will continue our contacts with its leaders in a bid to reach a consensus," he added.
He said that no time frame was set to reach a deal, adding that" what is happening on the ground controls the course of the talks."
"The negotiations will tackle lifting Gaza siege and freeing the Palestinian detainees in the Israeli prisons," he added.
