Negotiations between Hamas and Israel, facilitated by Egyptian intermediaries, are set to resume in Cairo on Sunday to discuss the details of aid delivery mechanisms to the Gaza Strip, including areas in the north, and to explore new distribution methods.
An informed Arab source disclosed that this round of talks marks the first occasion where the implementation of aid delivery methods will be discussed in depth, as previous discussions had only touched upon the topic without delving into specifics.
The source further elaborated that the current discussions will explore innovative approaches to ensure aid reaches the population in a manner distinct from the traditional methods currently in practice.
Israel announced yesterday its decision to send a delegation to Cairo for participation in the negotiations, following delayed deliberations and recent resolution.
On Thursday, US President Joe Biden conversed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging him to empower the Israeli delegation with greater authority to reach an agreement, as reported by Israeli media outlets at the time.
According to the Arab source, various scenarios are being considered at the negotiation table under the imperative of reaching an agreement, regardless of its scale. Even if it culminates in a week-long ceasefire agreement without any prisoner exchanges or additional ground measures.
