CAIRO/JERUSALEM - The negotiations held in Egypt for a truce between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip have seen "remarkable progress", yet some points of disagreement remained unresolved, Egypt's Al-Qahera News TV channel reported on Wednesday.

"The discussions continued from 10 am (0700 GMT) amid remarkable agreement, yet some controversial points remained," Al-Qahera quoted an unnamed high-ranking source as saying.

Egypt has been exerting "relentless efforts" to maintain the negotiation on track, stressing to all participating parties the danger of escalation and failure to adhere to the path, according to the report.

Also on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and visiting United States Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns met in Israel to discuss ongoing efforts to reach a deal that would include a ceasefire

Earlier in the day, Al-Qahera reported "Egypt is ready to deal with all scenarios".

On Tuesday, Egypt hosted delegations from Hamas, Israel, Qatar and the United States with the aim of reaching a comprehensive truce in Gaza.

The Israeli army launched a military operation in Rafah on Monday night, where more than one million internally displaced Palestinians have sought refuge since Israel's offensive began on Oct 7 last year.

Also on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and visiting United States Central Intelligence Agency Director William Burns met in Israel to discuss ongoing efforts to reach a deal that would include a ceasefire and the release of Israeli hostages in Gaza, according to an Israeli government source.

Netanyahu and Burns touched on the current Gaza truce negotiations in Cairo, the source said, without specifying the timing and location of the meeting.

Israel's Ynet news website reported that Burns arrived in Israel after taking part in the talks held in Doha and Cairo.

In a video statement released on Tuesday, Netanyahu said he had instructed the Israeli delegation to "continue to stand firm on the conditions necessary for the release of Israeli hostages, (and) continue to stand firm on the essential requirements to ensure Israel's security".
