Cairo is hosting meetings between Fatah and Hamas to discuss forming a committee to run Gaza as part of post-war plans, a senior Egyptian security source tells Egypt’s state-affiliated Al Qahera News TV.
The move is part of Egypt’s mediation efforts involving Palestinian and Israeli parties to reach a ceasefire and expand humanitarian aid access.
The two Palestinian factions have been rivals since the Hamas terror group violently routed forces loyal to the Palestinian Authority’s Fatah in Gaza in 2007, taking over the coastal enclave.
The two groups signed a declaration in China to end their years-long rift in July.
