Gaza Strip: Israeli prime minister and Palestinian president are expected to meet on Sunday and discuss the border crisis.
Meanwhile, both Hamas and Fatah have accepted invitations to hold separate talks with the Egyptian government to discuss the Gaza border, which has been breached to allow blockaded Palestinians into Egypt.
The border, which was initially breached by Hamas fighters, remained open for the fifth day on Sunday, though Egyptian security forces blocked Gazans from driving beyond the border town of Rafah.
Egypt is under pressure to seal the border, but is reluctant to be seen as shoring up a seven-month-old blockade imposed on Gaza to cripple Hamas.
Egyptian foreign minister told reporters that Hamas leaders and the Palestinian leadership were invited to Cairo.
