Hamas Opens Cairo Talks on Trump Gaza Plan
Hamas Opens Cairo Talks on Trump Gaza Plan
The News
A Hamas delegation began talks with Egypt's intelligence chief in Cairo on Sunday over how to move forward with President Trump's post-war plan for Gaza, a Hamas official told AFP.
Al Jazeera reported that Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya was traveling to Cairo to meet Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad, and that the meeting comes ahead of a visit by Jared Kushner.
The Jerusalem Post, citing reports, said the delegation would take up "key issues" in the Gaza Board of Peace deal.
Timeline
Turkey's Anadolu Agency reports the planned Cairo visit, saying the delegation will discuss items tied to the "Palestinian issue."
The Hamas delegation begins its meeting with Egypt's spy chief, a Hamas official tells AFP, with the stated aim of advancing implementation of the post-war plan for Gaza.
Reactions
The Hamas side has framed the Cairo session as a working meeting on implementation rather than a new negotiation, according to the official who spoke to AFP.
Egypt is again acting as the broker, with its intelligence service — not its foreign ministry — running the channel, as it has through earlier rounds.
Al Jazeera reported the talks are taking place amid ongoing tensions in Gaza.
What's Next
The immediate marker is the Kushner visit that Al Jazeera says follows these talks — the clearest signal of whether Washington believes the Board of Peace framework is moving.
Beyond that, the sources do not specify a timetable, agenda items or any agreement reached in Cairo.
More
Why Americans should care: this is Trump's plan, negotiated with American involvement, and its implementation phase is where the hard questions — who governs Gaza, who disarms, who pays — get settled or stall. The three sources covering Sunday's meeting agree on the participants and the venue; none reports an outcome.
