'Positive progress'
Most major issues in Gaza cease-fire talks have been resolved, Qatari-owned newspaper The New Arab reported on Thursday, citing Egyptian sources.
According to the report, "disagreements between Hamas and Israel now focus on just one area."
Meanwhile, a senior Egyptian official told Saudi newspaper Al Sharq, "There has been positive progress in the negotiations as contacts continue with all parties."
Outgoing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday called for a broad coalition that excludes Israel’s Arab parties, claiming the right to lead it after his Likud party finished first in the election. The Arab parties, meanwhile, urged the opposition to “accept reality” and rely on their votes.

Iranian negotiators have left talks with Qatari mediators aimed at ending the war with the United States, and a draft proposal is being circulated with a follow-up meeting possible, an official briefed on the talks said on Monday.
