'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."
Israeli officials have signaled they want the United Nations to remain the key avenue for humanitarian deliveries in Gaza, the deputy head of the World Food Programme said on Friday, noting the work of a controversial U.S. aid group was not discussed.
A proposal seen by Reuters and bearing the name of a controversial U.S.-backed aid group described a plan to build large-scale camps called “Humanitarian Transit Areas” inside - and possibly outside - Gaza to house the Palestinian population, outlining a vision of "replacing Hamas' control over the population in Gaza."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Thursday he hoped to reach a deal in a few days for the release of more Israeli hostages held by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas.
