On Wednesday, Egypt voiced doubts about the new cease-fire proposal aimed at closing gaps between Israel and Hamas, just a day before talks were set to resume in Cairo.
The bridging proposal faces challenges risking the optimistic outlook brought by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on his recent Middle East visit.
Diplomatic efforts have intensified due to rising concerns over a regional war following the recent targeted killings of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, which have been attributed to Israel alongside threats of retaliation.
