A high-level delegation from Palestinian group Hamas arrived in Cairo on Sunday and held talks with Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad to discuss the implementation of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, according to Egyptian media, Anadolu reports.

The meeting addressed ways to complete the implementation of US President Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza, the state-run Al-Qahera News channel said.

Hamas praised Egyptian efforts to consolidate the Gaza ceasefire and reaffirmed its commitment to Trump’s plan to alleviate the suffering of the territory’s population and start reconstruction, the broadcaster said.

Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem said early Sunday that the talks in Egypt aim to brief mediators on Israel’s violations and ensure Tel Aviv’s adherence to the Gaza roadmap. The Hamas delegation is led by group leader Khalil al-Hayya.

In October 2023, the Israeli army launched a deadly offensive in the Gaza Strip that has killed over 73,000 and wounded more than 174,000 others.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Despite a truce that has remained in place since October 2025, the army has continued its attacks in the Palestinian enclave, killing at least 1,260 and injuring over 4,100 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.
