A Hamas political delegation led by Zaher Jabareen arrived in Cairo on Tuesday afternoon for discussions on the ceasefire framework. The agenda includes halting Israeli strikes in Gaza, full IDF withdrawal, re-establishing administrative committees, securing infrastructure aid, and implementing the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement, according to a statement from the delegation.
A Hamas political delegation led by senior official Zaher Jabareen has arrived in Cairo for ceasefire discussions, the group announced Tuesday afternoon. The visit follows an earlier round on Tuesday morning in which a separate Hamas delegation was expected to arrive for talks, as The Zioneer reported at 10:07 Jerusalem time.
The delegation's stated agenda covers several points: halting what it describes as "daily Israeli violations and airstrikes" in Gaza, full withdrawal of IDF forces from the Strip, re-establishment of the administrative committee to manage civilian affairs, securing aid for infrastructure including hospitals and bakeries, and enforcement of the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement — a reference to the 2005 understanding on Gaza border arrangements.
Jabareen is a senior Hamas politburo member who has been active in previous rounds of negotiations. The delegation's arrival comes as the ceasefire framework, initially presented by the Trump administration and mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, continues to take shape. A separate Hamas team led by Hussam Badran reported progress on Phase 2 of the roadmap in Cairo on June 11. The group has previously held consultations with Egyptian, Qatari, and Turkish mediators, and with UN envoy Sigrid Kaag (formerly Mladenov).
The current talks are the first direct engagement since Hamas disclosed interest in joining a broader "ceasefire on all fronts" following the Iran-US memorandum of understanding, as reported on June 24. No timeline for the discussions or expected outcomes has been announced.
