In Gaza, Palestinians reacted cautiously.
CAIRO/GAZA/JERUSALEM - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will convene his security Cabinet on the evening of July 4 to discuss new Hamas positions on a ceasefire deal in Gaza, a source in Mr Netanyahu's office said, as fighting in the enclave raged.
A Palestinian official close to the mediation effort told Reuters that Hamas, the militant group that controls Gaza, has shown flexibility over some clauses, which would allow a framework agreement to be reached should Israel approve. The third phase involves the reconstruction of the war-shattered territory and the return of the remains of dead hostages."We hope that this is the end of the war, we are exhausted and we can't stand more setbacks and disappointments," said Mr Youssef, a father of two, now displaced in Khan Younis, in the south of the enclave.
