A senior U.S. official, speaking to reporters on condition of anonymity to discuss the push by mediators, said only four or five areas of disagreement over implementation remained to be resolved between the two opponents. Egypt, the U.S. and Qatar said they have a proposal ready to present at next week’s talks to resolve the remaining issues.
