The Times of Israel reported on Saturday that there has been no breakthrough in negotiations between Israel and Hamas regarding a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, despite US President Donald Trump's statements that an agreement is close.
"There has been no significant shift in the positions of Israel and Hamas on the main points of contention," the official told the newspaper, including the movement's demand for guarantees to end the war in Gaza.
Trump said on Friday that he believes a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is possible within a week.
He told reporters during a White House event that he believed a ceasefire in Gaza was imminent, adding that he was "just talking" with some stakeholders trying to reach a ceasefire in the Palestinian enclave.
