Negotiations on the second phase of the ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas are taking place in Cairo, and an Israeli official says the country’s negotiating team was returning home Friday evening.

The Israeli official, speaking to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to discuss closed-door negotiations, said the talks were to continue Saturday. That’s when the agreement’s first phase technically expires, but under the terms of the deal, fighting won’t resume during the negotiations.
