Qatar, Egypt, US say new proposal was given to Israel, Hamas
A new "bridge proposal" was presented to Israel and Hamas, according to a joint statement from Qatar, Egypt and the U.S.
Israeli sources told ABC News progress has been made in negotiations and some of the gaps have narrowed. But Hamas said that the Israeli side did not abide by what was agreed upon on July 2 and Netanyahu even backed down from what was stated in the Israeli paper on May 27.
More talks will be held in Cairo next week to bridge the gap and complete the deal, the three countries said.
"Working teams will continue technical work over the coming days on the details of implementation including arrangements to implement the agreement's extensive humanitarian provisions as well as specifics relating to hostages and detainees," Qatar, Egypt and the U.S. said.
"There is no further time to waste nor excuses from any party for further delay," the countries said.
