Deadly fighting has rocked Gaza as US top diplomat Antony Blinken on a Middle East tour pushed for an elusive truce and hostage release deal to end the war raging since 7 October.
Northern Israel, meanwhile, came under repeated barrages of rocket fire from Hezbollah in Lebanon, a day after an Israeli air strike killed a senior commander of the militant group allied with Hamas.
Hamas proposed amendments including a ceasefire timeline and the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, said a source familiar with the talks.
Hamas wants written guarantees from the United States for a permanent ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip in order to sign off on a US-backed truce proposal, two Egyptian security sources said.
