Egyptian delegation arrives in Tel Aviv to discuss the truce in Gaza, says Egyptian state TV

An Egyptian security delegation that includes “a group of experts” arrived this Friday at Tel Aviv to reach an agreement to reach a truce between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic group Hamas at the Gaza stripEgyptian state television Al Qahera News reported.

The network, very close to Egyptian Intelligence, said, citing an anonymous security source, that the delegation “includes a group of experts on the Palestinian cause to address a comprehensive framework for a ceasefire in the Gaza strip”without providing further details.

Previously, Al-Qahera News confirmed that Egypt is in contact “with all parties”, but so far talks with Israel have been limited to security delegations.

Security sources informed EFE this Thursday that a delegation from the Egyptian Intelligence Service will travel this Friday to Israel in an attempt to relaunch the paralyzed truce negotiations mediated by Cairo, Qatar and the United States, something that Arab and Israeli media also reported.

The sources, who requested anonymity given the sensitivity of the matter, indicated that this trip takes place as a result of “efforts” Egyptians reach a ceasefire and release all hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.

Likewise, they pointed out that Cairo suggested a large-scale exchange of hostages by Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons, in addition to a truce lasting several weeks, a proposal that the Egyptian mediation team transmitted to Hamas before informing Israel.

In addition to the exchange of prisoners and hostages, the Egyptian truce proposal insists that during the Stop the fire Israeli troops withdraw from several points in the Strip and allow displaced Palestinians to return to their homes in northern Gaza, something Israel previously rejected.

According to sources, as soon as the Egyptian delegation returns from Tel Aviv will meet with a Hamas team to study Israel’s response.

Egypt’s new diplomatic offensive comes after Qatar said this week that it is reassessing its role as mediator of Israel’s “attacks” and the “lack of seriousness” in truce negotiations.

The Prime Minister of Qatar, Mohamed bin Abderrahmanalso regretted that the truce negotiations were “going through delicate moments” and “some stagnation”, at a time when an imminent Israeli operation against Rafaa city at the southern tip of the Strip where 1.4 million people displaced by war live in overcrowded conditions.
