Hamas official: Senior delegation heading to Cairo for hostage-ceasefire talks
CAIRO, Egypt — A Hamas official tells AFP that senior leaders from the group are heading to Cairo today for Gaza hostage-ceasefire talks with Egyptian mediators.
“We hope the meeting will achieve real progress toward reaching an agreement to end the war, halt the aggression, and ensure the full withdrawal of occupation forces from Gaza,” the official familiar with the ceasefire negotiations says on condition of anonymity, as he was not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
