An Israeli delegation is set to meet with Egyptian mediators next week in Cairo and convey the new government’s demands regarding the ceasefire with the Hamas terror group, sources tell the London-based Al-Araby Al-Jadeed newspaper.
Egyptian sources tell the newspaper that under the new government, headed by Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, the delegation will bring “new developments” to be conveyed to Hamas and other Gaza-based terror groups through Egyptian mediators.
The sources say the developments are pertaining to Israel’s position on the reconstruction of Gaza following May’s round of fighting, and Jerusalem’s demand to release Israeli captives and bodies held by Hamas.
