Egypt on Saturday insisted that its invitation to the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli Government for peace talks was “still in place” despite the breakdown of a 72-hour humanitarian truce. “Egypt assures that the invitation it sent to the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli Government to send their two delegations to Cairo to study all issues of concern... within the framework of the Egyptian initiative is still in place”, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Egypt had invited the Palestinian Authority and Israel to send delegations to Cairo for truce talks after the both sides had agreed to 72-hour ceasefire in Gaza brokered by the US and UN.
