“Israel is not sending a delegation to Cairo for talks on a deal for a ceasefire and release of hostages from Gaza, an Israeli official told CNN Sunday.”
“Another diplomatic source played down the prospects of an imminent deal, saying progress was slow and it was unlikely there would be a breakthrough within the next 48 hours.”
The official said the reason was that Hamas had not responded to two Israeli demands: a list of hostages specifying which are alive and which are dead; and confirmation of the ratio of Palestinian prisoners to be released from Israeli prisons in exchange for hostages.
This is in theory what we’re waiting on. That sounds reasonable at first glance, but we do have to remember that we are only hearing from one side.

The article immediately clarified Israel hasn’t agreed to anything.
Biden keeps saying a ceasefire is about to happen, despite no signs it will
So his administration keeps releasing these unsourced reasons that it total is happening, despite no signs it is.
This is in theory what we’re waiting on. That sounds reasonable at first glance, but we do have to remember that we are only hearing from one side.
