Peace talks aimed at
ending the Gaza conflict were thrown into doubt Friday after members of
the Palestinian delegation said they had been told they were no longer
welcome following the collapse of a 72-hour ceasefire.
Bassam Al-Salhi, a member of the Palestinian team, said Egypt – which
is hosting the talks – informed them it was not willing to receive them in light of Friday morning’s violence.

Egypt told the Palestinian delegation that it is no longer
welcome at the Cairo peace talks aimed at ending the Gaza conflict
after the collapse of a 72-hour ceasefire, according to a member of the
Palestinian team. The Palestinian delegation was comprised of Hamas,
Western-backed Fatah, the Islamic Jihad militant group and a number of
smaller factions.
