Hamas delegation heads to Cairo to discuss Gaza ceasefire

Hamas announced on Saturday that a leading delegation from the resistance movement will head to Cairo on Sunday in response to an Egyptian invitation to discuss ceasefire developments in the Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.
“A leadership delegation from Hamas headed by Khalil Al-Hayya will head tomorrow, Sunday, to Cairo, in response to the call of our brothers in Egypt,” the movement said in a statement.
Hamas confirmed its adherence to its position presented on March 14.
“The demands of our people and national forces are for a permanent ceasefire, the withdrawal of the (Israeli) occupation forces from Gaza, the return of the displaced to their places of residence, freedom of movement, relief and shelter, in addition to a serious hostage exchange deal,” Hamas said.
On Friday, a U.S. administration official said President Joe Biden recently sent two special letters to Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi and the Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani related to accelerating ceasefire negotiations, according to U.S. media.
