This is the best summary I could come up with:
Egypt threatened on Wednesday to withdraw as a mediator in Gaza ceasefire negotiations after CNN reported that Egyptian intelligence changed the terms of a recent truce proposal and scuttled a deal.
“Attempts to cast doubt and offend Egypt’s mediation efforts… will only lead to further complications of the situation in Gaza and the entire region and may push Egypt to completely withdraw from its mediation in the current conflict,” Diaa Rashwan, head of Egypt’s State Information Service, said in a statement published on social media.
Quoting three people familiar with the discussions, CNN on Tuesday said Egyptian intelligence changed the terms of a ceasefire proposal that Israel agreed to earlier in May.
The CIA, whose director, William Burns, has been leading the US mediation efforts, declined to comment on the report.
Rashwan said in the statement that Cairo’s participation as a mediator resulted from “repeated requests and insistence” from Israel and the US
Egypt said some “parties” recently directed blame towards Egyptian and Qatari mediators and accused them of being biased, he added.
