A Hamas delegation began talks with Egypt's intelligence chief on Sunday to discuss ways to advance the implementation of a post-war plan for Gaza, according to an official familiar with the matter. The meeting, held in Cairo, focused on the details of the plan, which includes governance and reconstruction aspects.
The talks come as international mediators, including Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, continue efforts to solidify a ceasefire and address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The specifics of the plan have not been publicly disclosed, but it is understood to involve a transitional administration and security arrangements.
Egypt has been a key mediator in the conflict, hosting numerous rounds of negotiations. The current discussions are seen as crucial for the next phase of the ceasefire agreement, which has been in place since earlier this year.
Neither Hamas nor Egyptian officials have issued official statements following the meeting, but sources indicate that further talks are expected in the coming days.
