A Hamas delegation will visit Cairo on Monday for talks aimed at securing a ceasefire, a Hamas official told Reuters on Sunday, as mediators stepped up efforts to reach a deal ahead of an Israeli assault on the southern city of Rafah.
The official, who asked not to be named, said the delegation will discuss a ceasefire proposal handed by Hamas to mediators Qatar and Egypt, as well as Israel’s response.
He did not disclose details of the latest proposals.
The war, now in its seventh month, was triggered by an attack by Hamas terrorists on Israel on Oct. 7, killing 1,200 and taking 253 hostages.
