STORYLINE:
Palestinians in the Gaza Strip city of Khan Younis were celebrating the possibility of a ceasefire deal being reached on Wednesday, despite an Israeli official saying the talks with Hamas had hit a last-minute snag, holding up an emerging deal to pause the war in the territory.
The official said that Hamas had raised objections to agreed-upon arrangements for the Philadelphi Corridor — a strategic strip of land along Gaza’s border with Egypt.
“Israel strongly rejects any change to these maps,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was discussing closed-door negotiations.
The disagreement delayed an expected announcement on a deal.
It was unclear how serious the dispute was.
Hamas official says the group has rejected an Israeli proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and that negotiations are continuing.
