A delegation from Hamas, led by Mohammed Darwish, head of the movement's leadership council, met with Major General Hassan Rashad, head of Egypt's General Intelligence Service, in Cairo.

The meeting addressed key issues related to the ceasefire agreement and prisoner exchange, as outlined in a statement issued by Hamas.

The delegation expressed its appreciation for Egypt’s efforts to counter displacement plans and reaffirmed its support for the decisions made at the Arab Summit, particularly the Gaza Reconstruction Plan.
