Hamas delegation meets Egypt’s spy chief amid mutual ceasefire violation claims

Egypt, Qatar, and the US have been mediating between Hamas and Israel, securing the ceasefire that came into effect last month.

A senior Hamas delegation met Egypt's intelligence chief in Cairo on Sunday to discuss the ceasefire agreement and the situation in Gaza, the group said, as both Israel and the Palestinian terror group continue to trade accusations of truce violations.

Egypt, Qatar, and the US have been mediating between Hamas and Israel, securing the ceasefire that came into effect last month.

In a statement, the group said it reaffirmed its commitment to implementing the first phase of the ceasefire agreement in its meeting with Egypt's intelligence chief, but accused Israel of "continued violations" that it said threatened to undermine the deal.

Hamas, whose delegation included its exiled Gaza chief Khalil al-Hayya , called for a "clear and defined mechanism" under the supervision of mediators to document and halt any breaches of the deal.
