Egypt proposes temporary ceasefire, reports say

Egypt, which failed to broker a ceasefire earlier this week, has introduced a new proposal for a temporary ceasefire, according to several reports citing Palestinian sources.

Anadolu reported that the truce would be "temporary", and Al-Arabi TV reported that the proposal would be for a humanitarian ceasefire in order to open Karem Abu Salem and Beit Hanoun crossing and allow the entry of medical equipment.

A spokesperson with Islamic Jihad told Al-Arabi TV that the armed group has not agreed to any proposals as of yet.
