Egypt's Foreign Minister Hopeful About New Gaza Truce Proposal as Hamas Delegation Meets in Cairo
Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry expressed optimism about a new proposal for a truce in Gaza, as a Hamas delegation was set to arrive in Cairo for talks on Monday.
The proposal, which has been put forth by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States, aims to address the positions of both Israel and Hamas and encourage moderation.
The minister expressed hope for a positive outcome, acknowledging that various factors may influence the decisions of both sides.
Recent diplomatic efforts suggest a renewed push towards ending the conflict.
A Hamas delegation was scheduled to travel to Egypt on Monday to discuss Israel's latest ceasefire proposal in Gaza and the release of hostages following nearly seven months of conflict.
A senior Hamas official expressed optimism about the negotiations, stating that there were no significant issues with the truce plan, but warned that new obstacles from Israel could derail the talks.
