Hamas delegation heads to Cairo for talks on Gaza blockade

Hamas is sending a delegation to Cairo to discuss a range of issues, including easing the Israeli-Egyptian blockade on Gaza and reconciling with Fatah.

“The Hamas leadership delegation that arrived in Gaza last Thursday will return to the Egyptian capital Cairo bearing the vision of the movement regarding all issues that were discussed,” Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh tells a meeting of Palestinian politicians in the Gaza Strip, according to the Hamas-linked Palestinian Information Center.

“The delegation will return to Cairo bearing the vision of the movement regarding reconciliation, breaking the siege, talk about a ceasefire, confronting the occupation’s acts of aggression and the rebuilding of the Palestinian scene on national foundations,” Haniyeh says.
