High-ranking Israeli Cabinet members were expected to meet with a delegation that returned from talks in Paris with negotiators from the United States, Egypt and Qatar in search of a deal on pausing the fighting in Gaza, an Israeli official has said.

The official asserted that the Hamas militant group ruling Gaza had relented on some demands, but gave no details.
