CGTN

A delegation led by the chief of Israel's intelligence agency Mossad traveled on Sunday to Paris for talks on a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, an Israeli government official told Xinhua.

The official, speaking on conditions of anonymity, said that "significant gaps" have remained between Israel and Hamas. Contrary to reports in U.S. media, he noted that "a deal is not near. Hamas didn't soften its position and more levers of pressure should be applied to Hamas."

According to the official, the U.S.-led talks in Paris, aimed at reaching a deal to end the Gaza conflict, will be held with the participation of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director, Qatari prime minister, and negotiators from Egyptian and Israeli security agencies.
