Hamas officials heading to Cairo for regional talks
A delegation of senior Hamas officials will arrive in Cairo tomorrow evening to discuss bilateral ties with Egypt and “ongoing developments related to Palestinian and Arab affairs,” Hamas says in a statement, without elaborating.
Egypt has previously hosted Hamas officials in Cairo to talk about efforts to achieve reconciliation with Fatah, a possible prisoner swap deal with Israel and other issues, including easing the Egyptian-Israeli blockade on Gaza.
The delegation will include Deputy Hamas Politburo Chairman Salih al-Arouri and several other senior Hamas officials including Moussa Abu Marzouk, Khalil al-Hayya, Husam Badran, Ezzat al-Rishq and Rouhi Mushtaha, the terror group says.
