Talks to reach a Gaza truce were expected to resume Sunday after officials from the Hamas Islamist organisation and Israel publicly disagreed over demands to end their seven-month war. Israel has yet to send a delegation to Cairo as it awaits a written response from Hamas which is due Sunday, ABC Correspondent Jordana Miller told FRANCE 24, adding that the two parties are "the closest" that they've been to a deal in many months.
