A senior Hamas delegation met with Egypt’s intelligence chief in Cairo on Sunday to discuss the Gaza ceasefire agreement and the latest developments on the ground, the group said. The talks came as both Hamas and Israel exchanged accusations of violating the truce brokered by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, which took effect last month.
In a statement, Hamas reaffirmed its commitment to implementing the first phase of the ceasefire deal but accused Israel of “continued violations” that it said jeopardize the fragile agreement. The delegation, which included the group’s exiled Gaza leader Khalil Al Hayya, urged the establishment of a “clear and defined mechanism” under the supervision of mediators to detect and prevent any breaches of the truce.
Hamas added that discussions with Egyptian officials also touched on the situation of its members in tunnel areas around Rafah, where communication had reportedly been lost. Earlier this month, Reuters reported that mediators were working to resolve the fate of Hamas fighters trapped in tunnel networks beneath Israeli-controlled zones in Gaza.
