ALBAWABA - A delegation from Hamas met with the head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service to discuss the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and the exchange of prisoners.
At the same time, the Palestinian movement denied accepting a temporary truce in the Gaza Strip as claimed before, Al-Jazeera reported on Sunday.
Hamas said in a statement: "The head of the movement's leadership council, Mohammed Darwish, led a delegation to Cairo and met with the head of the Egyptian General Intelligence Service, Major General Hassan Rashad, and discussed many important issues, including the implementation of the ceasefire agreement and the exchange of prisoners in its various stages."
The statement added that the Hamas delegation stressed the need to adhere to all the terms of the agreement and to immediately start the second phase negotiations, open the crossings, and allow relief supplies to enter the Strip without restrictions or conditions.
Nonetheless, Hamas expressed its thanks and appreciation for the Egyptian efforts in the previous period, especially in confronting displacement plans, and its appreciation for the outcomes of the Arab Summit, especially the plan to rebuild Gaza, and the emphasis on the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people.
