Qatari newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reports that a Hamas delegation led by senior official Zaher Jabarin has arrived in Cairo to meet with senior Egyptian intelligence officials.
According to the report, the meeting, which was requested by Egypt, will address efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza, including talks based on comments raised by US envoy Steve Witkoff. No further details were provided.
Witkoff on Friday spoke by phone with Egyptian foreign minister Badr Abdelatty regarding efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza, Abdelatty said at a press conference earlier today.
The US envoy reportedly met in Paris with Qatari officials on Thursday to discuss efforts to reach a ceasefire and hostage release deal, though Israeli officials sounded skeptical about progress toward an agreement.
