Egyptian president proposes new cease-fire truce as CIA chief in Mideast for talks

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is pushing Israel and Hamas to agree to a two-day cease-fire in a move to get hostages released amid top international talks on the conflict in Doha, Qatar, on Sunday.

Neither side appears to have agreed to any temporary cease-fire deal or hostage release despite the limited proposal that was pushed for the freeing of four Israelis – abducted by Hamas over a year ago – and some Palestinian prisoners, though the exact number remains unclear, reported Reuters.
