Egypt will host a delegation of Hamas in Cairo tomorrow, Saturday, for talks on developments in the Gaza ceasefire issue, Egypt’s state-run Al Qahera TV reported today, citing a high-ranking Egyptian source.

The Palestinian Islamist movement has confirmed that a delegation will visit Cairo tomorrow, a Hamas official told Reuters today.

It is noted that the two sides appear unmoved in some of the conditions they have set from the beginning, making it almost impossible to lift the impasse.

It is recalled that Israel gave Hamas a one-week deadline to accept the cease-fire plan, according to the WSJ citing Egyptian officials.

Otherwise he will start the military operation in Rafah.

More specifically, although the publication does not specify when the ultimatum was given, taking into account that Egyptian officials report that Cairo worked with Israel to put together the revised ceasefire proposal that was presented last weekend, it is estimated that the timeline the leeway Hamas has at its disposal is one week.

In any case, Hamas’s military leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, who is believed to be holed up in tunnels in the enclave and making the final decisions, has yet to respond, apparently seeking to buy time and possibly win better terms. in the armistice agreement.

“Sinowar is expected to reject any agreement that does not include a credible path to end the war,” the officials typically predict, summarizing that Hamas “sees” vague details in the proposal and thus shows doubt.

From the side of the Arab mediators it is estimated that “Sinowar believes that he has already won the war, whether he survives or not, by opening the eyes of the world to the plight of the Palestinians and bringing the conflict in the Gaza Strip to the forefront of world affairs.”
