A Hamas source spoke to the Saudi Al-Arabiya network on Monday and said that a delegation of the terrorist organization was in Cairo to discuss the Egyptian ceasefire initiative. According to him, the negotiations are continuing, but they will not agree to a deal to release hostages before a ceasefire.
In addition, the Qatari newspaper Al-Arabi Al-Jadid reported this morning that Israeli officials have tried in recent days to persuade Egypt to agree to the entry of IDF forces into the Philadelphi Route area.
A source told the newspaper that Egypt would find it difficult to accept this, despite Israel's expectation that Cairo would show flexibility on the issue. According to the sources, Israel is trying to use the economic card to convince the Egyptians in light of the crisis in the country.
Ahmed Hassan, former assistant foreign minister, told Al-Arabi Al-Jadid that Netanyahu's position supporting Israel's return to the Philadelphi route was a "claim without proof" that it was a route for smuggling Hamas weapons.
