The Hamas delegation slated to arrive in Cairo will not present the terror group’s response to the latest proposal for a hostages-for-truce deal with Israel, a Palestinian source tells the Kan public broadcaster.
According to the source, the delegation is traveling to the Egyptian capital for further negotiations and will reiterate Hamas’s demands for an agreement, chiefly an Israeli commitment to end the war sparked by the October 7 onslaught.
The report says the delegation will be led by Khalil al-Hayya and also include Zaher Jabarin and Ghazi Hamad.
