An Israeli senior official said Saturday indirect talks in Cairo between Israel and the Palestinians over an extended cease-fire agreement were expected to begin Tuesday, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The Egyptians originally invited the sides to Cairo on Wednesday, but Israel asked for the date to be moved up a day, the paper said.
The Egyptian-mediated talks are set to start some 28 days after the end of the Israeli aggression on August 26.
That 50-day campaign ended with an unconditional cease-fire that was to be followed up by indirect talks in Cairo to start within a month and deal with the terms of a longer-term cease-fire.
Hamas will demand opening the crossings into Egypt and Israel, the transfer of funds for salaries, and the building of an airport and a seaport.
