Egypt has been intensifying its contacts with both Israeli and Palestinian factions to try to revive efforts toward a ceasefire-hostage deal to end the fighting in Gaza, a senior Egyptian source tells the Egyptian Al-Qahera channel.
The source also says there are no Egyptian discussions regarding Israeli supervision of the Rafah Crossing, and stresses that Cairo wants the Israeli army to completely withdraw from the Gazan side of the crossing.
He points out that governance of Gaza after Israel’s military operation concludes should be a Palestinian affair and that Cairo will not introduce any Egyptian forces into the Gaza Strip.
