Hamas delegation leaves Cairo with ceasefire talks ongoing until agreement
[GEO.TV] Hamas' delegation left Cairo on Wednesday with Gaza ceasefire talks ongoing until an agreement is reached with Israel, the Palestinian group said in a statement.
The parties are too far apart for any agreement, which is probably for the best until a good many more jihadis are dead.
The Times of Israel adds:
Hamas’s Gaza leader Yahya Sinwar has renewed contact with other Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
officials after days of reported silence to convey a hardened negotiating stance and insist on a permanent ceasefire, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing "officials familiar with the discussions."

The tougher stance, according to the report, comes amid "signs of increased tension between Israel and the US."

The officials say Sinwar’s demand that Israel "commit to discuss a permanent stop in the fighting" puts him "at odds with other Hamas officials." Ismail Haniyeh
...became Prime Minister of Gaza after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank...
, the Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
-based politburo chief, is said to be more willing to accept the Gay Paree framework, under which a six-week truce would come into effect and some 40 hostages would be released while talks would continue on other issues, including the possibility of a more permanent ceasefire and an Israeli military withdrawal from Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Egyptian officials cited in the report say Sinwar believes Hamas "has the upper hand in negotiations" given internal divisions in Israel, and "mounting US pressure on Israel to do more to alleviate the suffering of Gazooks."

A Hamas delegation left Cairo earlier today, where talks were being held and now appear to be stalled.

It was unclear whether they would return, Egyptian officials tell WSJ, with hopes the delegation may come back on Sunday.
