A source familiar with the negotiations said that the parties had agreed on key terms and clarifications that would help lay the groundwork for future agreements.
Although political negotiations remained "tense," the source said, military negotiations had instilled cautious optimism among officials.
"One of the primary tasks of the military negotiations was getting agreement from both sides on key terms that would be used for the political negotiations, such as the practical terms of a ceasefire and what would constitute a violation of that ceasefire.
There was progress made on that front, the source said, though political officials still have to give the final sign-off. Officials expect another meeting to be scheduled in the near future, likely in the next few weeks, the source said."
