Hamas said its delegation was travelling in a "positive spirit" after studying the latest truce proposal.

"We are determined to secure an agreement in a way that fulfils Palestinians' demands," it said.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said "taking the ceasefire should be a no-brainer" for the militant group.

Hamas's negotiators have returned to the Egyptian capital to resume long-running talks - brokered by Egypt and Qatar - that would temporarily pause Israel's offensive in Gaza in return for freeing hostages.
