Reuters cited informed sources stating that Netanyahu is en route to Cairo for discussions aimed at achieving a ceasefire in Gaza.
Sources familiar with the negotiations added to Reuters that an agreement to ceasefire in Gaza is expected to be finalized in the coming days.
On the other hand, the Palestinian movement Hamas issued a statement on Tuesday confirming that the ongoing Gaza truce talks in Doha are "serious and positive." The group stated that reaching an agreement for a ceasefire and prisoner exchange is achievable if Israel refrains from introducing new conditions.
"Hamas affirms that, in light of the serious and positive discussions taking place today in Doha under the auspices of our Qatari and Egyptian brothers, reaching an agreement for a ceasefire and a prisoner exchange is possible if the occupation ceases to impose new conditions," the Palestinian group said in a statement.
In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby said that US officials believe Israel and Hamas are getting closer to reaching a ceasefire deal in Gaza.
