iStock/Thinkstock(JERUSALEM) — The deadline for another round of Egyptian-mediated talks between Israel and Hamas is fast approaching.
According to the Gaza truce that was signed, negotiations are to begin by Sept. 25. While no official start date has been announced, both sides are gearing up to resume negotiations.
Senior sources on both the Israeli and Palestinian side tell ABC News a second round of Cairo talks will begin sometime next week.
The prime minister’s office in Jerusalem says Israel is ready to ease restrictions on building materials entering Gaza and that the negotiating team will recommend international organizations supervise building projects to ensure cement and steel go to housing projects and not attack tunnels.
Palestinian sources said disagreements with Hamas were narrowing and would not hold up the Cairo talks.
