GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Several Israeli media outlets, along with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, have been circulating rumors that Palestinian factions in the Gaza Strip are negotiating a long-term truce with Israel under Egyptian brokerage. Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) deny such talk.
Leaders of those factions did visit Cairo on Dec. 2, following Egypt's call for deliberations to cement the latest cease-fire agreement reached with Israel in November. The talks also followed up on the latest developments regarding other truce understandings reached in October 2018, and on issues of internal Palestinian reconciliation and general elections.
