ALBAWABA - Chief Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has landed in Cairo for talks with Egyptian officials over developments in the ongoing Israeli war on Gaza.
The group will also address "efforts to stop the aggression, provide relief to citizens, and achieve the goals of our Palestinian people," according to the statement.
Despite a flurry of talks with Israeli and Hamas negotiators last week, Egyptian, Qatari, and US mediators made little progress in their efforts to halt more than four months of incessant violence.
"The pattern of the last few days is not really very promising," Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
Haniyeh reaffirmed Hamas' demands in a statement on Saturday, despite the fact that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has branded several of them as "delusional".
The demands include a cease-fire, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, the lifting of Israel's siege on the area, and safe refuge for hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinian inhabitants.
Al-Aqsa Flood operation against Israel
Hamas military group announced on Oct. 7 a military operation called "Al-Aqsa Flood" against Israel which is the biggest offensive in decades.
Palestinian fighters “infiltrated” Israel from the Gaza Strip and captured military bases and took hostages as photos and videos went viral online showing Hamas fighters on vehicles inside Israel and others paragliding into occupation territory.
In response, Israeli armed forces announced targeting Hamas positions inside the Gaza Strip. Thousands were killed, and dozens of thousands of others were injured in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip.
The latest statistics by the Ministry of Health in Gaza revealed that the death toll from Israeli brutal pounding on the Gaza Strip since October 7 has soared to 29,195 people, with more than 69,170 injuries.
Since then, approximately 85% of Gazans have been displaced, all of whom are suffering from severe food insecurity, and the healthcare system has collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of people lack shelter, and aid trucks are entering the area at
