Hamas delegation will return to Cairo with 'response' on Gaza truce
Egypt, Qatar and the US have been trying to mediate an agreement between Israel and Hamas for months.
A Hamas delegation today left Egypt and returned to Qatar to discuss the proposal, saying it is keen to respond "as quickly as possible".
