Sources told the Saudi newspaper Al-Sharq that a delegation of Hamas members is in Cairo to discuss cease-fire proposals with Egyptian intelligence chief Abbas Kamal.
Earlier, a senior Egyptian official told the AP news agency that Hamas rejected the Israeli offer to release the hostages in exchange for a two-month cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, and giving senior Hamas officials the opportunity to leave the Strip.
According to the source, Egypt and Qatar are working on their own proposal to bridge the gaps between the parties.
An Iranian military official called on Qatar on Saturday to transfer detained Iranian pilots to a hospital on land, saying they were being held on water and were in "poor physical condition", Tasnim news agency reported.
Donald Trump's envoys met with Egyptian, Qatari and Turkish mediators in Cairo on Sunday, a diplomatic source said, in a bid to advance the U.S. president's Gaza peace plan, even as Israel pressed on with airstrikes in the enclave.
Qatar denied on Saturday that it was holding Iranian pilots, saying they had violated Qatari airspace earlier this year and had failed to respond to attempts to contact them.
